Collection at the Museum, Devizes. 473 



chalk and is unusually large, weighing eleven-and-a-half pounds ; 

 it is four-sided, much worn by use, and has a cross rudely cut in 

 on two opposite faces. Fig. 5 is also rather large, and weighs nine 

 pounds ; it is much worn, and is made of a very hard yellowish haked 

 clay. 



There are in the collection parts of seventeen querns, and four 

 saddle querns, or mealing stones. The saddle querns are all of 

 micaceous sandstone, PI. XL, Figs. 2, 4, 6. Most of the other 

 querns are of millstone grit, but some are of sarsen and others of 

 hard rock from the Upper Greensand. Two parts of upper quern 

 stones were found in the well, one of millstone grit, the other of a 

 bard volcanic rock, probably imported. Figs. 1 and 3 are top stones, 

 of Upper Greensand stone and of sarsen respectively ; Fig. 5 is a 

 nether stone of millstone grit. 1 



Several whetstones, and some twenty rubbers and pounders of 

 flint and sarsen, are also included in the collection. 2

2 No lamps or lighting apparatus were found on the Westbury site. The 

 Museum at Devizes contains pottery and other relics from many Roman or 

 Romano-British inhabited sites in Wiltshire, but there is not a fragment of 

 a lamp or candlestick from either of them. In all General Pitt-Rivers' ex- 

 cavations in Wilts and on the borders not one lamp was found, and only one 

 doubtful candlestick (vol. iii., p. 149). It seems curious that lamps should 

 be so rare in this part of the country when elsewhere they are apparently 

 ' common.
