was red in colour, and beneath it was fine dark earthy matter. 

 It was placed on its mouth. 



2. Another urn, which was broken into fragments ; similar to 

 No. 1 but smaller ; placed on its mouth. 



3. Urn small, and placed on its base, is very remarkable in 

 shape. It was oval, swelled out in the middle, a,nd contracted a 

 little in the mouth ; not unlike a cocoa nut cup, or like an oval 

 sugar basin. [The Rev. James Raine compares it to the shape of 

 a standing-pie.] It is longer than it is broad, and the section of the 

 mouth is oval. — It is 2| inches high, but the diameter in one direc- 

 tion is 3 inches, and in another 3f inches ; the bottom is rounded; 

 diameter of the base 1^ inches; circumference 14 inches. It is of a 

 light whitey-brown clay colour. The clay of which it has been 

 formed has been of a blue colour, such as is occasionally seen in the 

 neighbourhood. It has been so well burnt, that it is partially vitri- 

 fied. It is unornamented, but toward s the narrow end, equidistant 

 from the base and the mouth, are two holes \^ inches apart, 

 pierced through the side of the urn ; nearly opposite to them 

 are two punctures which do not quite pass through that side of 

 the urn. The rim of the mouth slopes inwards, thickness f of 

 an inch. This urn was full of soil, ashes, and bones apparently 

 burnt, 



The information about the urns was communicated by Mr 

 Chrisp. They were in the possession of Dr Gilly.
