was found in the Western Fort at Greaves Ash ; and the root 

 portion of another of large size was dug out of the Chesters 

 Camp; and in the latter the humerus and a few teeth of a horse 

 were also recognisable. Three bottom stones of primitive hand- 

 mills or querns were found at Greaves Ash ; three of them com- 

 posed "of a variety of syenite with large crystals, which is 

 abundant enough in large rolled blocks in the channel of the 

 Breamish ; and the other two are made of sandstone. The 

 syenitic querns are rude and clumsy, being 15 inches diameter 

 and 5 inches in thickness." The sandstone of one of the querns 

 is "such as occurs at Titlingfcon, Eglingham, and other moorlands 

 of Northumberland." A fine-grained square-shaped sandstone 

 with rounded angles, and with a deepish hole in the centre of 

 the flat upper surface was found in a hut-circle in the Chesters 

 Camp, and supposed to have belonged to a diminutive quern. 

 A miniature quern of finely grained white sandstone was shown 

 to me at Alnham Vicarage, in end of May 1886, by the Eev. M. 

 Lazenby. It is perhaps mediaeval. It has not been lost sight of, 

 but a drawing of it will be taken. An iron-knife of dubious age 

 was come upon within Brough Law camp, which was 3^ ins. long. 

 Subsequently a bead of a light green colour, ornamented with 

 a wavy line of yellow paste, resembling one found in the rail- 

 way cutting near Chathill, was picked up in a field near to 

 Eeaveley. (Hist. Ber. Nat. Club, IV., p. 307.) A figure of the 

 Chathill bead has been preserved. Mr Tate also makes a mem- 

 orandum of a " Bronze Pot from Eeaveley," perhaps one of the 

 brass mediaeval tripods.
