BARROW-DIGGING AT MARTlNSTOWN. it 



Beakers, or drinking-cups, with one handle, are also extremely 

 rare. A fine example of this type was found at March 

 (Cambs.) l ; another at Pickering (North Riding of Yorks) l ; 

 and another at Appledore (Berks) 2 , in 1828. A one-handled 

 drinking-vessel, height 7^ inches, was found by Canon Green- 

 well at Goodmanham, E. Riding, Yorks a . Another comes from 

 Denton, near Grantham 4 ; and another was found at Brixworth 

 in 1890 5 . 



Incense-cups, too, in very exceptional cases are provided with 

 handles. Perhaps the two best known examples are those from 

 Darley Dale (Derbyshire) 6 , and Bagnalstown (Carlow) 7 . 

 Another, which originally had four handles, was found at 

 Badbury (Dorset) 8 . , 



On the east side of the grave the solid chalk had been cut 

 away to form a slight ledge or shelf, shown in the plan. On 

 this ledge, which was sloped off towards the bottom of the 

 grave, the osteological remains of three infants were found, 

 indicated by a star in the plan and a section, and, between them 

 and the contracted human skeleton and handled food-vessel, a 

 smaller food-vessel, no doubt connected with the burial of the 

 infants, was found, and was removed entire. It holds y fluid 

 ounces. The photograph (Plate IV., Fig. 32), represents it 

 f linear; it is s^in. high; exterior diameter at rim 3 Jin. ; 

 diameter at base 2in. ; thickness at rim i^in. ; thickness at base 

 in. It is of a light reddish-brown colour, and corresponds to 

 the No. 2 quality of British pottery of Pitt-Rivers, without any
