and the greatest thickness of the clay 6 inches. The substructure was 
unimportant, and no objects were found either on or in the vicinity of the 
clay. 
ee or Cray 88 anp 89.—-These were small irregularly shaped 
and thin areas of clay situated N.E. of Mound 31. The greatest diameters 
of both were 10 feet 6 inches, and the depth of the clay varied from 
3 to 5 inches. Nothing noteworthy was found regarding the sub- 
structure, and the only numbered ‘ finds’ were two whetstones, S 43 and 
S 44, found near the W. margin of Clay-area 89. 
Mounp 34.—This site, partly excavated in 1898, was composed of 
two floors of yellow clay, and situated N. of Mound 33, by which mound 
it was overlapped along the 8. margin. The greatest diameter of the clay 
was 22 feet, and the greatest thickness 11 inches. An incomplete line of 
wall-posts was noticed along the W. and N. margins of the clay, but no 
hearth was discovered. The substructure was unimportant, and no objects 
of interest were found in or near the site. Several alder stumps with 
roots 7m si#w were found embedded in the peat lying N. and N.W. of 
the clay. . 
There was a large area of level ground situated between Mound 81 
and Areas of Clay 86 and 87, and extending westwards of the latter as far 
as the boundary of the village. This ground was trenched, but did not 
yield a single object worth mentioning. It was largely composed of rush 
peat, and was not piled except near the W. margin of Mound 81 and the 
N. margin of Mound 84. The ground on which the shed stood was 
included in this area. 
SHort DESCRIPTION OF THE RELICS, ALL FOUND IN 1907, 
Amber, (A.) 
5. Complete bead, translucent orange, found in two pieces, 12 foot apart; ext. 
diam. 23 mm.; thickness 6 mm.; diam. of hole 6-5 mm.; section oval. The edge in 
one part for a distance of 7 mm. shows considerable signs of wear, the depression 
being slightly concave. Mound 75. 
Bone Objects. (B.) 
408. Two smooth metatarsal bones of sheep or goat, each with condyle complete 
at the distal end; a circular hole at the proximal end; in one case the articular sur- 
faces of this end have been cut off. Mound 75, 
409. Part of the shaft of a sheep’s metatarsus, length 31:2 mm.; max. width 
9-2 mm. ; carefully trimmed, and having a circular, bevelled perforation (min. diam. 
3°3 mm.) through the middle of one of the sides on the greatest width of the object ; 
ornamented with faintly incised diamonds, intersected by parallel lines arranged 
transversely. Mound 75. A precisely similar object (B 28), but unornamented, 
length 30°4 mm., was found previously in the village. 
410. Calcined piece of smooth bone of oval section, 11 mm. by 9:5 mm., showing 
marks of a fine saw at both ends; max. length 195 mm. Mound 75. 
411. Polished metacarpus of sheep, with small oval hole at the proximal end. 
Mound 75. This bone belonged to a sheep about 2 feet 1 inch in height at the 
shoulder. 
A horn-core of Bos longifirons, with a fairly deep saw-cut 2 mm. wide encircling 
the core near the base, was found in the peat below the clay of Mound 13 amongst 
the wall-posts. 
Crucibles. (C.) 
30. Small portion of a crucible, with fused bronze still adhering to the side. The 
knobbed end of a small bronze pin was found withit. Mound 75. Mr. Clement 
Reid, F.K.8., believes that the clays found in assc ciation with the Somerset lias, or 
oolite or the alluvium, would not be at all suitable for the manufacture of the
