is not now possible to locate them. In his third excavation it 

 seems that he may have narrowly missed finding the southern 

 chamber. The small disturbed cist that he found on the north 

 side of the mound was apparently to the north or north-east of 

 the southern chamber. These two cists found by Dr. Thurnam 

 and the chamber found in 1909 are the only recorded burial places- 

 found in the barrow at Lanhill, but it is quite possible that other 

 cists, and even chambers, have been destroyed by stone diggers. 



It is a pleasure to be able to add that Sir Audley Neeld has 

 taken steps to preserve and safeguard the chamber from destruction. 

 A large stone has been put over the chamber where the roof had 

 fallen in, and an iron framework adjusted to counteract the inward 

 thrust of the walls. Earth has been banked up against the exposed 

 sections of the mound, as otherwise rain and frost would bring 

 down the loose stones of which it is built and iron railings have 

 been put round that part of the barrow containing the chamber. 



The following list of the principal bones found is given in case 

 it may some day be of use for purposes of comparison. 



The stone diggers are probably responsible for some of the 

 missing bones, but not for many.

The complete bones are inclusive of those that it was found 

 possible to mend. These bones are exclusive of those of the very 

 young child.
