PAEISH OF HUTTON BUSCEL. 357 



Hating series is a single encircling line. The inside of the lip, 

 -J in. deep, has an encircling line at the top and another at the 

 bottom, the space between being filled in with short diagonal 

 lines inclining to the right. All these impressions are due to 

 twisted-thong. Below the overhanging rim the urn is quite plain 

 for a space of an inch in depth, but below that is a pattern 

 made of circular impressions apparently formed with the end 

 of a piece of reed cleanly cut across. The singular feature is, that 

 on the inside of the urn, commencing 2J in. below the rim, is 

 a similar pattern to that just described, and like it made apparently 

 with a piece of reed. How far this ornamentation extended on 

 either the outside or inside of the urn it is, on account of its 

 fragmentary condition, impossible to say. Abundant traces of 

 burnt matter were met with throughout the barrow ; amongst 

 the material of which were a few potsherds, and a very large 

 number of flint chippings (some of them calcined), including eight 

 unburnt round scrapers.

Along the same range of high land upon which is placed 

 the Scamridge Long Barrow, but a few miles further to the east, 

 is continued the series of barrows to which reference is made in 

 the account of that barrow given in another part of this volume, 

 a series which extends as far as the tract of moorland lying 

 between Troutsdale and the valley of the Derwent. A glance 

 at the map referred to above will show how thickly the district 

 in question is studded with grave-mounds. Most of them have 

 been rifled by the mere curiosity-hunter, and it is to be feared 

 that no record of what was found in them has been preserved. 

 A few however still remained unopened up to a recent period, 

 and of the examination of some of these I now proceed to give 

 an account. 



CLII. On Wykeham Moor are three houes called 'The Three 

 Tremblers/ standing a few yards apart from each other. The two 

 smaller had been partially opened some years ago, but the third 

 remained untouched. It lies the most to the south of the three, 

 and is bowl-shaped, 98 ft. in diameter and 11 ft. high no doubt 

 its original elevation. It was formed entirely of sand, with a few 

 casual stones here and there. About 16ft. from the outside of
