PARISH OF 11UTTOX BUSCEL. 369 



about 5 ft. in width and 1 ft. in depth and reaching from one side 

 of the mound to the other, the entire material was charcoal. Many 

 of the pieces were of considerable dimensions, one fragment of oak 

 being 11 in. long by 7 in. wide and as much in thickness. 



CLVIII. The second barrow was 28 ft. in diameter, 4J ft. high, 

 and made of sand, having a circle of stones round its base. About 

 2 ft. south of the centre, and resting upon the natural surface, was 

 a cinerary urn standing upright, and containing the burnt remains 

 of a person of moderate size and from 25 to 30 years of age. 

 It is like fig. 56, but has the rim almost as wide at the top as 

 at the bottom, and is 12 J in. high, 11 in. wide at the mouth, 

 11 Jin. at the bottom of the overhanging rim (which is 3f in. in 

 depth), and 5J in. at the bottom. The rim has five irregularly- 

 formed rows of circular or dot-shaped impressions encompassing it ; 

 below the rim the urn slightly widens for a space of 2^ in., and 

 then slopes away to the bottom ; there is no ornamentation except 

 on the rim. Amongst the bones two small fragments of calcined 

 flint were discovered. 



CLIX. About 400 yards to the west of the last was a third 

 barrow, 18ft. in diameter, 2ft. high, and made of earth with a few 

 stones intermingled. At the centre, and upon the natural surface, 

 was a deposit of burnt bones, and with them an urn, laid upon its 

 side, the mouth being turned towards the south. In it were placed 

 a few of the bones of the burnt body, principally portions of the 

 skull. Amongst the bones not contained in the urn were a leaf- 

 shaped arrow-point and a flint chipping, both of them calcined. 

 The urn, which is similar in form to fig. 56, but wider at the 

 bottom, is 4J- in. high, 4 in. wide at the mouth, and 2| in. at the 

 bottom. The inside of the rim has on the lip an encompassing zig- 

 zag line ; the rim itself, 1 J in. deep, has at the top an encircling 

 line, and below is ornamented with a pattern in triangles of 

 alternate series of V~ sna P e d and horizontal lines ; below the rim for 

 a space of an inch there is a reticulated pattern, the remainder of 

 the urn being quite plain ; all the lines have been made with a 

 sharp-pointed instrument. 



CLX. About a mile south-east of the barrow last described was 

 one 27 ft. in diameter, 2^ ft. high, made of sand with a few stones, 

 and having a circular trench, 3Jft. wide and 2| ft. deep, round the
