On Urns and Antiquities of the Cheviot Hills. 205 



Mr John Anderson found a triangular heart-shaped (barbed) 

 flint arrow-head in digging his potato- ground near Milkhope. 

 An arrow, or spear-head of flint had likewise been found at 

 Usway Ford, near the potato-yards ; and an oval head or ' ' drop " 

 perforated near one end, of a grey stone, and very smooth " as 

 smooth as could be made," possibly an amulet or bead, was met 

 with there also. A smooth pale brown porphyritic bullet, of the 

 largest size of those used near Newcastle in the game of ' ' Long 

 Bullets," was got in the same neighbourhood. "Fairy-pipes" 

 had been picked out in old ash middens at the " Horse-holes," a 

 recess in the green braes at Milkhope, where half-wild horses 

 might retire to at night for shelter out of the cold winds. 

 There are remains of old erections close by. These miniature 

 pipes are also scattered about the old cottage at old Usway Ford. 

 A fragment of ancient pottery without any enamel was picked 

 up on a mole-hill in the Yoke Haugh. 



Clennell. 



A single -ringed British camp behind Lord's Seat has already 

 been mentioned in the Club's Proceedings, vol. V., p. 385, as being

 flows. There is another on a raised platform on the east side of 

 this ravine above the gap through which the burn issues from 

 the hill. Olennell-street passes in the vicinity. Although there 

 may be no immediate connection it is worthy of mention that a 

 stone celt of a bluish colour was found on the slopes of 

 Clennell. 



Hakbottle Peels. 



At Harbottle Peels, Canon Greenwell, in prosecuting his re- 

 searches among the ancient sepulchres of Northumberland, was 

 so fortunate as to be led by the accidental discovery of a cist in 

 ploughing, to light upon the site of a cairn that covered nine 

 interments, six of unburnt, and three of burnt bodies. Most of 

 the cists were provided with urns of the "food-vessel" type. 

 The first had in it a food-vessel, "covered over the entire surface 

 with encircling lines of oval impressions." In the second cist 

 was a food- vessel, which had "4 thick and unpierced ears at 

 the shoulder, and was covered for a space of 3£ inches below 

 the rim with encircling bands of lines," " arranged herring-bone 

 fashion." The sandstone slab on the south side of the cist had
