418 FLINT FLAKES IN CORNWALL. 



St. Enodoc, near Padstow. — Near the ancient cliurcli of St. 

 Enodoc, at Eock, and amongst similar Towans, I met with 

 many flakes. 



Obelisk Hill, Trevose Head, Trevone, Pentyre, Stopper 

 Head near Padstow. — On the hills and adjoining- fields 

 many scrapers of flint, flakes, cores and pieces have been 

 found, mostly composed of flint from the greensand. 



Constantine. — On bare sjjots near the old church I have found 

 cores and pieces of flint. 



BuDE. — Along the cliffs on the coast, and extending almost from 

 Widemouth Bay to Hartland Point, are the remains of 

 numerous barrows. They are all, more or less, in a ruinous 

 condition, as the cliffs are crumbling away, and the barrows, 

 with their contents, are falling down their sides. Amongst 

 the remaining soil of the barrows, and in the crevices of the 

 cliffs, where accessible, I have found very many flakes and 

 pieces, and when, spite of their ruinous condition, I 

 could obtain access to the interior, I have found many 

 specimens, indicating, I think, that these flakes were buried 

 with the remains of the dead. From the beach below I 

 obtained many flint pebbles, probably the unused stock of 

 the prehistoric artificer of the neighbourhood — very few of 

 these showed signs of having come under man's hand, 

 although some had been broken as if in preparation for 

 flakes to be struck off from them, 



A few years since a large stone-lined cavern was 

 discovered by the quarrymen working on the cliff above the 

 sea, it was composed of square flat stones, but contained no 

 relics of any kind, as far as I have been able to ascertain. 

 Most of the stones were removed to the churchyard of 

 Poughill, where they have been erected and form a monu- 

 ment near the porch of the churchyard. 

 Boscawen-Un. — Near the great Circle, and where the rock, 

 known as the Treasure Stone, once stood (it has now been 

 removed, and probably destroyed), I have found some good 

 and perfect flakes, and these were in the matrix or hollow 

 which once contained the stone. These possibly may have
