red sandstone. Three flints only were found, a scraper, a 
portion of a knife, and one with a notch, which probably 
was used for scraping bone needles, etc. A point, used 
for boring, is broken off. Several hearthstones were from 
time to time met with in the old soil. These were large 
stones, on which fires had been placed, or which had been 
placed round a fire. 
THE ANIMAL REMAINS, of which a large number were 
found, consist of bones (including man) and mollusca. 
These are dealt with in the Appendix. Ona fragment of 
bone, ground to a point, Mr A. S. Kennard expresses the 
following opinion: “It is very interesting, and certainly 
rude, and totally unlike anything that I have seen.” 
POTTERY. Fragments of pottery were plentiful through- 
out the old soil—for the most part, however, in very small 
pieces. It is all distinguished as being coarse and badly 
fired. Some have the appearance of being wheel-turned, 
but this is doubtful, especially if the tools we have above 
described were used. There is practically no attempt at 
decoration, and the vessels were probably made for 
domestic use. ‘There is a total absence of Roman and 
Romano-British pottery. . 
BURNT CLAY. Much burnt clay was found, and one or 
two pieces show impressions of sticks. Messrs A. S. 
Kennard and Reader are in perfect agreement in describ- 
ing these as follows: “The portions of burnt clay with 
impressions of stick are the remains of ‘ Wattle and daub’ 
work of a house. The structure caught fire, and the wood 
burnt, leaving the partially burnt clay as the evidence 
of the conflagration.” The pieces in question were found 
near pit (a) Type I. 
COINS. Three Roman coins were found in the Stone 
Band. They were three and a half feet below the surface- 
soil, and eleven inches above the old soil. They were 
found together on a large stone, not in any way connected
