PARISH OF GOODMANHAM. 319 



left ankle being also over the right. Behind the head was a well- 

 made flint knife, 2|- in. long and 1 in. wide ; the one side is left as 

 when it was struck off from the block, the other, which is to some ex- 

 tent convex, is finely flaked over nearly the whole surface. Amongst 

 the material of the barrow, near to the centre but not connected 

 with any of the interments, was an axe of hone-stone, 4J in. long 

 and 2 Jin. wide at the cutting edge, where it has been ground, 

 the remainder of the implement having merely been chipped into 

 shape. 



CXI. The next barrow was 50ft. in diameter, l^ft. high, and 

 made of earth, with some chalk here and there. On the natural 

 surface of the ground, 15 ft. south of the centre, was placed the 

 body of a man about 30 years of age, laid on the right side, with 

 the head to W. S.W. ; the right hand was up to the face and the 

 left at the knees. The distance between the crown of the head and 

 the heels was 3J ft. In a grave, 11 ft. east of the centre, was a 

 second body, that of a woman under 30 years of age, laid on the left 

 side, with the head to N. E. by N. ; the right hand was up to the 

 face, the left extended out at a right angle from the body. The 

 grave was 5 J ft. long, 3 ft. 2 in. wide, and 1 ft. deep, and had a 

 direction north-by-east and south-by-west, the head of the body 

 being at the north end. Eight feet south-south-east of the centre, 

 and on the natural surface, was the body of a child from 2 to 3 years 

 of age, laid on the left side, the head being to E. Behind the head 

 was a ' food vessel ' of peculiar shape, but well made and of fine 

 paste. It approaches in shape to fig. 64, and is 2J in. high, 3% in. 

 wide at the mouth, 4 in. at the widest part, and 1J in. at the bottom. 

 Six grooves encompass the upper 1 J in., and covering the whole 

 vessel including the grooves is a pattern of bands (23 in number) of 

 short lines arranged herring-bone fashion, made with a very finely- 

 pointed tool. On the level of the natural surface, 5 ft. south-south- 

 east of the centre, was the body of a child, about the same age as 

 the last, laid on the left side, the head being to S. by E., and the 

 hands up to the face; behind the shoulders was a bone pin, 7f in. 

 long, made from the leg-bone of a goat or sheep. At a point 3 ft. 

 south- south-east from the present centre, but probably representing 

 the original centre, was the body of a young woman from 18 to 22 

 years of age, laid on the left side in a hollow a little below the 

 surface-level. The head was to N. E. by E., and rested on the left 

 hand, the right hand being up to the face, in front of which was a
