proximity to either. It is probable however that it accompanied 

 the unburnt body. Touching the child's head were the feet of a 

 third body, of a person of full growth, laid on the right side, and 

 with the head to W. The heels of this body were in the closest 

 vicinity of the ' food vessel.' No part of the skeleton was left, except 

 the legs, part of the lower jaw, and the left temporal bone. 



XII. About a mile south-west of the barrow just described, but 

 separated from it by a deep valley, was a single mound, placed on 

 the summit of the hill, upon the range of high land running 

 between the valley of the Derwent and the great Wold valley, 

 which pursues a direction west and east past Lutton, Weaverthorpe, 

 Wold Newton, and other places in the same line. This barrow was 

 56 ft. in diameter and 2 ft. high, and consisted of earth with some 

 chalk. It had been much ploughed down. At a distance of 21 ft. 

 north-west of the centre was found the body of an adult, probably 

 a man, which had been laid on the right side on the natural 

 surface, the head being to S.W. Underneath the head were three 

 flint implements ; the first, which seems to be a knife, has been 

 carefully chipped all along the edge, except at the end opposite to 

 that at which it was struck to separate it from the core, it is 

 2^ in. long and 1| in. wide; the other two were a round scraper, 

 and a flake which shows, all along the edge, signs of having been 

 actually in use. At the centre and placed upon the level of the 

 natural surface was a cinerary urn, reversed [fig. 97], enclosing a 

 deposit of the burnt bones of an adult, and amongst them was a 

 bronze awl. If in. long [fig. 41], the flattened end of which, 

 intended for insertion in the handle, is just above a quarter of an 

 inch in length. The urn, which is better fired than usual, is of 

 rather uncommon proportions, being narrow in comparison with its 

 height. It is 13| in. high, 8| in. wide at the mouth, and 4 in. at 

 the bottom. The upper part, for a depth of 5 in., is ornamented 

 with encompassing lines, arranged herring-bone fashion, made by a 

 sharp-pointed tool. Immediately underneath the urn was an oval 

 grave, cut into the rock, and filled in with clayey soil and a little 

 chalk. It was 7 ft. by 6 ft., running north-east by south-west, 

 and If ft. deep. At the bottom was found the body of a young 

 person, about 15 years of age, laid on the right side, the head to 

 N. by E., and the hands up to the face. In front of the knees 

 there was a ' food vessel.' It is shaped somewhat like fig. 69, 

 5|in. high, 6 in. wide at the mouth, and 2f in. at the bottom.
