PARISH OF GOODMANHAM. 319 



left ankle being also over the rig-lit. 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, 4^ in. long" 

 and 2|- in. 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 50 ft. 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 3| 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^ 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 1|^ in. at the bottom. 

 Six grooves encompass the upper If 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
