exposed which gave evidence of an interment at an early period of the iron age, 

 when bronze-age modes of burial were still practised. The sides, ends and cover of 

 the cist were formed of sandstone slabs from 3-| to 5 inches thick. It was an almost 

 regular oblong and was directed practically east to west. The inside measurement 

 was approximately 4 feet in length and 2 feet 3 inches in breadth. The cist con- 

 tained two decayed human skeletons, a young adult and an adolescent about twenty- 

 one ; an iron fibula, an iron circular brooch, and a long iron pin. The cist in general 

 form and construction was not unlike a short cist of the bronze age, and the skeleton 

 was bent on itself; but the presence of iron objects and the absence of urns associated 

 it with the iron period. It is stated that a portion of cloth with which the body 

 had been wrapped was adherent to the pin of the fibula.
