 To "Arch8eologiaiEliana,"vol. III., (1859) pp. 36-38. Mr Dunn 

 furnishes a notice, with illustration, of "Ancient Sepulchral 

 Eemains at Amble. " This relates to a "Food-vessel, " or small 

 urn of unbaked clay, a rude chip of flint, and a smooth cobble- 

 stone found in August, 1857, in a cist enclosed in a friable shale, 

 not far from the end of Warkworth South pier. These accompani- 

 ed a skeleton lying on its left side, with the head to the S.W., 

 having the knees much doubled, and the right arm thrown back. 

 The urn was ornamented " with zig-zag scorings, alternating 

 with dotted lines, and upright and sometimes slanting scorings. " 

 It is now in the Museum of the Duke of Northumberland. Mr 

 Dunn adds : "It appears that a few years ago, in the immediate 

 proximity, two or more tumuli were found, which contained urns 

 and bones ; and flint arrow heads of elaborate finish have been 

 occasionally met with," (I.e. p. 38). Well formed-arrow heads 

 have also been found in the same district in the land near Haux- 

 ley ; and examples of these were exhibited by Mr Henry Dand 

 to the Club at a meeting at Powburn, 27th June, 1861. (Hist, of the 

 Club, IV., p. 239.) 4. Dr. James Scott of Ashtrees, Eox., and
