The second was a long barrow (marked d. in plan ; see also d. C.v. 
North Wilts Map), opened in 1864, An account of this is in the 
Wiltshire Magazine, vol. xiii. The measurements of the skulls, as 
given by Dr. Thurnam,’ are, for the male 68—decidedly dolicho- 
cephalic—and for the females 71 and 74 respectively. That with 
the index 74 must have been a remarkable-looking old lady, the 
teeth on both sides having long been lost, with the curious exception 
of the right wisdom tooth, which still remains, though much worn 
down. It may be mentioned that the sarsen stone meal-rubber 
found here is the only one as yet discovered in a Wiltshire long barrow. 
It is 53in. in length. 
The third barrow was situated to the south. It was but slightly 
raised above the surface of the down. The workmen reached its 
contents in the course of their flint-digging, and found a skeleton 
and a drinking-cup, besides which, as they said, “ there wur a bit 
of ould brass” (probably a fragment of a bronze knife or dagger), 
near the skeleton. Beyond this nothing is known of the details. 
They scattered the bones amongst the flint heaps, and preserved 
two small fragments only of the cup. The spot was afterwards 
very carefully searched, and other fragments of the cup were found, 
sufficient to make a good restoration. It is of the high-brimmed 
globose type of drinking-cup, with much ornamentation, though it 
is but a very irregular example of “freehand.” There are five rows 
of chevrons of triple lines of dots, two on the upper and three on 
the lower or bulb part of the cup. Between these are two rows of 
diamonds, some of them formed of parallel lines, some of three 
diamonds one inside the other, some of “ines crossing obliquely, 
whilst in another part, this ornament suddenly changes into large 
irregular zig-zags. The lines have apparently been produced by 
pressing on the clay a thin piece of wood or bone, having small 
notches cut on the edge. The cup is 64in. high by 5zin. in diameter. 
In 1858 the writer gave instructions to Henry Green,? flint- 
digger, to excavate some hollows which appeared to be traces of

?Several of the objects named in the following list were obtained from the 
same workman, having been dug up by him in or near the camp.
