18in. to 2ft. deep, and I should think the continual ploughing 
for ages past must have more or less disturbed the buried 
- ‘remains, as numbers of bones, together with small pieces and 
broken ones, are constantly met with in poking away the 
soi. . . . . my father never used a spade there but only 
disturbed the soil with his walking-stick. . . . . Here and 
there in the rock would be places where the soil ran a little 
deeper and had evidently been disturbed at some time or 
other, and to these places he always paid more attention. 
You know the kind of things he discovered— 
4 Bsnze pins, some with rudely worked heads; pieces that I 
should think were armlets; Ring with stones set—this was on 
_affinger-bone. . . . . There was no end of pottery, some 
dark, some red, and some light, and of all shapes—rims, 
bottoms, &c., some with designs. There is the dagger 
{socketed knife] which you saw, and the beam of a scale. 
There was a perfect urn, with a large flat stone on the top ; 
this was taken out whole and it contained burnt remains. 
Unfortunately this urn fell to pieces on exposure. From a 
memo. I have found the coins were of :—Galba, Augustus, 
Pertinax, Constantine, Probus, &c.” 
Some years ago the collection was handed over to the 
‘Corporation of Bath, who placed it at the Technical Schools, 
where it has since lain forgotten. The writer is indebted 
to Mr. Day for having been allowed to examine it. Mr. 
Mockler has very kindly photographed the principal objects. 
In the early part of 1903 the writer visited the quarry, and 
m disturbing the top earth with a stick, he found the base 
of an urn, as well as fragments of black coarse pottery a few 
inches under the soil on the edge of the quarry. 
Later in the year he made a further examination of the site, 
though by no means a satisfactory one, as it was impossible, for 
yarious reasons, to make the necessary trenches.
