422 REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE. 



50. Upper sloiic of a quern, max. diam. 15 incbes. Smooth on concave under- 

 surface. The concavity deviates from a straight line to a depth of If inch. Max. 

 diam. of central aperture Sg inclies. One of the handle-holes has been broken ; it 

 was 2J inches wide and 3J inches deep. There is another handle-hole on the other 

 side of the quern, measuring about 3 inches by 2 inclies at the mouth, where some 

 of the stone is now deficient. Mound 74. 



51. Upper stone of quern in fragments. Mound 74. 



52. Lower stone of quern in fragments. Mound 74. ' 



Stone Objects. (S.) 



42. Smooth sandstone disc, almost circular, diam. 50 mm.; niax. thickness 

 11 mm. ; bi-convex in section. It may be an incomplete spindle-whorl. Mound 74. 



Small roimded Pebbles, 2>^obabl// ' calculi.' — One from Mound G7 ; two from 

 Mound 71 ; two from Mound 74. 



Whetstones, mostly having sligldly conreco faces.— One from Mound G8 ; two 

 from Mound 72 ; four from Blound 74 ; one from Mound 76. 



Otluir stone objects. — Hammerstone, Mound 72 ; two hammerstonos. Mound 74. 



Spin dle-wh oris, ( W.) 



81. Spindle-whorl, found in the peat outside the palisading S.W. of Mound 7G, 

 1895. 



177. Spindle-whorl of indurated sandstone of Devonian age in process of manu- 

 facture (diam. 41 mm.), with excentric incipient hole ; round this hole a ring has 

 been faintly scratched in a more central position than the hole itself ; the ring was 

 probably indicated to correct the faulty commencement of drilling the hole. It was 

 evidently the intention to finish the hole by ' jDeckiug ' instead of by drilling, by 

 which method the position of the hole could be properly adjusted. Mound 74, 1902. 



179. Sandstone disc with flat faces and straight sides; probably an incomplete 

 spindle-whorl; diam. 385 mm. ; thickness 10 mm. Mound G8. 



180. Rough sandstone disc, of an irregular oval form, with flat faces and an 

 incipient hole for the purpose of making a spindle-whorl. Max. diam. 41 mm. ; 

 thickness 9 mm. Mound 68. 



181. Rough sandstone disc, probably a spindle-whorl in an early stage of manu- 

 facture ; diam. 53 mm. It varies considerably in thickness. S.W. of Mound 83. 



182. Stone disc, bi-convex in section, but flatter on one side than the other ; max. 

 diam. 47 mm. ; max. thickness 17 mm. Probably a spindle-whorl in an early stage 

 of manufacture. Mound 74. 



183. Large flat sandstone spindle-whorl; diam. 52mm. : thickness 10 mm. The 

 hole, which is somewhat excentric, is 65 mm. in diam. Mound 76. 



184. Spindle-whorl made from the base of a black earthenware pot which was 

 decorated on the bottom. The whorl is not quite circular, the diameters varying from 

 49 to 52 mm. The perforation for the reception of the wooden spindle is 9 mm. in 

 diam. externally. Thickness of whorl 10 mm. Mound 76. 



185. Thick sandstone spindle-whorl with flat faces and straight sides ; diam. 

 44 mm. ; thickness 155 mm. ; diam. of hole 6-5 mm. Mound 74. 



186. White lias spindle-whorl in a decomposed and friable condition; flat faces 

 and straight sides; diam. 35-5 mm.; thickness 10 mm.; diam. of hole 4mm. 

 Mound 74. 



Miscellaneous. 



Red colouring matter was found in Mound 76. 

 A Gryph(ea incurva was found in Mound 74. 



Wooden Objects, (X.) 



42. Wooden mallet with handle complete; max. length of head 7 inches; max. 

 width of head 3-85 inches; diam. of perforation for handle 1^ inch; handle 

 11 inches long. Found in the peat outside the palisadingto the N.N.W. of Mound 67, 

 1895. 



43. Portion of Imb of a wheel measuring 13 inches long, the diam. of the hub 

 when complete being Z\ inches. Mound 76.
