Burial No. 28, a grave running due E. and W., 5 feet 8 inches long by 1.5 
foot wide, the inside measurements being 5.5 feet by 1 foot 2 inches, by 10 inches 
in depth (Fig. 10). In this grave most careful search failed to discover any 
trace of human remains.

Crossing the road which borders the field in which the stone graves were, one

mound slightly more than 7 feet in height, measured from the side highest on the 
slope, and having diameters of 58 feet and 43 feet. This mound (A), which 
extends NE. and SW., has on top a flat ridge 27 feet long and 4 feet in width. 
About 85 yards SSE. from Mound A is another mound (B) in the shape of à 
ridge extending NNE. and SSW. Its height is 10 feet; its basal length and width 
are 110 feet and 48 feet, respectively. Its top, which is flat, is 62 feet in length 
by 5 feet in width. This mound, previous to our visit, had been dug into in two 
places to a considerable extent, the sides of the excavations indicating that it was 
composed of the surface clay of the hill with an occasional fragment of rock of the 
kind which lies plentifully on the hillside.
