144 Wilts Obituary. 



Neolithic Burial at DintOU. During the progress of the water- 

 works at Dinton early in 1909, an interment of a crouched skeleton, 

 apparently of Neolithic age, accompanied only by a few flint flakes and 

 two small pieces of worked bone, was discovered just to the north of 

 the ridge, north of the village of Dinton. It was excavated under the 

 superintendence of the Rev. G. H. Engleheart, F.S.A. The skull was 

 too much broken to be examined. There was no sign of any barrow 

 covering the interment. E. H. Goddabd.
