 no record. Two of them opened by Thurnam showed marks of

 resembling a long barrow with a round barrow at each end of it, 

 and another small one close at the S.W. Smith and Thurnam

[6a.] Thurnam opened a small barrow (No. 11) under cultivation, 1ft 

 high, to W. of Walker's hill (? in Alton Priors). No trace of in- 

 terment found. This has apparently disappeared. W.A.M. vi. 

 325. [Not in O.M. or Smith.] 



7. The very low barrow to the S.W. (j),opened by Thurnam (No. 19), 



contained a few pieces of burnt bone and the carelessly-buried 

 skeleton of an infant near the centre, and the skeleton of a woman 

 at full length in a narrow grave on the W. side. Thurnam 

 suggests that both infant and woman are perhaps medieval 

 burials. O.M. 35. SW ; W.A.M. vi. 326; Smith p. 183. XII.
