[One of a group of 4 barrows under Morgan's Hill, N.W. from Shepherd'? 

 Shore, a disc barrow opened by W. Cunnington 1804 contained 

 " burnt bones, a piece of slate and a neat little urn, several long 

 amber beads, and two ivory or bone beads" (probably those in 

 Devizes Museum, Stourhead Cat, 232a, 297, 302). This may tx 

 Barrow (12) and the other 3 may be (11, 13, 14). 



A tumulus lower down contained a large rude black urn with burnt 

 bones. A disc barrow a little way off had " a skeleton, and a small 

 rude urn of burnt bones inverted over the skull beneath (sic) the 

 primary interment, with two oblong beads." This may perhaps b< 

 Barrow (15). 



" Opened eight or nine more, in the group near the Roman Rd. ascend 

 ing Oldbury Hill, but found nothing new." These may possibly bi 

 those close to the fox covert in Avebury Parish. Hoare's MS 

 Notes, W.A.M. xxii. 237.]
