384 APPENDIX ROMAN-BRITISH 



a quarter of a mile of the same spot, in the bed of Woolmer 

 Pond, some in a large pot, probably similar to the vases 

 above mentioned, and others (being those mentioned by White) 

 not enclosed in any vessel, but appearing to have been hastily 

 thrown or poured into the water in a large heap or heaps. 

 These appear to have been, if not wholly, in part at all eA^ents, 

 of earlier date ; and they were probably (at least in part) of 

 greater size and value than those found at Blackmoor; for Mr. 

 Sewell speaks of medals and White of medallions as well as 

 coins ; and White describes those which he saw as having been 

 in very good condition. 



This account of the antiquities discovered in the parish of 

 Selborne would be imperfect without adding that, on the 

 ridges surrounding the forest basin, of which a description has 

 been given, there are thirty-five or more circular tumuli, or 

 sepulchral mounds, some larger than others, but none of very 

 large size, of which eleven are at or near Hogmoor, to the 

 north-east (seven together in one place, three near together 

 in another, and one by itself apart) ; four are on White Hill, 

 to the east (three together, close to the high road, and one at 

 a little distance apart) ; one is by itself on the south-easterly 

 projection of the northern Blackmoor ridge (the ridge oft which 

 the church and vicarage-house now stand) ; five are in a line 

 together at the southern extremity of the western Blackmoor 

 ridge (close by the high road, overlooking Woolmer Pond) ; 

 six, close together, are at the top of the opposite hill, on the 

 other side of W^oolmer Pond ; four, close together, are in the 

 government fir-plantations, about a quarter of a mile eastward 

 from the east end of Woolmer Pond ; three are in the highest 

 part of the same plantations, to the north-west of the high 

 road from Greatham to Liphook (one apart from the others, 

 to the south-west, the other two close together) ; and one, 

 remote from all the rest, is on the summit of Weaver's Down, 

 close to the extreme southern boundary of Selborne parish. 

 Some of them appear to have been much, and all or almost 

 all of them more or less disturbed with what results I have 

 no information, except what I have obtained from Mr. Prette- 

 john, who was present at the opening of five of them in 1829.
