 when complete would be about 8 inches in diameter, tool-marked.

 and atmospheric changes have done much to diminish its height 

 and breadth, giving it the appearance of a long-barrow, which the 

 interments show not to be the case.

 made, every one contained calcined bones. Two were inverted ; 

 the mouths of the remaining 21 were either covered by a sarsen 

 stone or a large flint; among these were two small cups, which, like 

 the rest, contained calcined bones, probably those of an infant. 

 All were made of local clay, but so imperfectly burnt they fell to 

 pieces as soon as the mould which supported them was removed. 

 The urns of this period were supposed at one time to be sun-baked,
