pipes under the mound. O.M. 46 SE. ; A. W. I. 93 ; Arch. xlii. 180 ; 

 Mem. Anthrop. Soc. I. 146 ; MS. Cat. 179—184. 



Warminster. 1 1. On the down N. of Arn Hill, and close to and E. of 

 Colloway Clump. Length 132ft; S.W. and N.E. Opened by Wm. 

 Cunnington in 1802. " At the south end was a sarsen stone 5ft. high, 

 terminating almost in a point, and placed in an upright position. 

 Near it lay the bones of three skeletons, which appeared to have been 

 deposited on the south and south-east of the stone, with heads to- 

 wards the east. They were all placed on a rude pavement of marl, 

 and over them was thrown a pile of large loose stones. There are 

 probably other, and more ancient, interments in this tumulus " A. W. 

 I. 65. 

 Hoare speaks of the barrow as "recently planted," and there are 

 now large beech trees, evidently of considerable age, growing on 

 it ; it stands on ploughed ground, and the ditches have disappeared, 

 but the mound itself, in spite of the trees and bushes, is still in good 

 condition ; it is of a considerable height and width at the S. end. 

 but tapers very much, ending almost in a sharp ridge. O.M. 51 N E. ; 

 A. W. I. 65 ; Arch, xliii. 189. 



"Warminster." 2 6. By Oxendean, N. of Battlesbury Camp, W. of the 

 Imber— Warminster road. Length 106ft. ; S.E. and N.W. Opened 

 by Cunnington and Hoare, who found " an interment of a skeleton 

 near the centre, 3 in a cist cut in the native soil beneath the floor of 

 the barrow ; and over it, near the surface, was a small cup of rude 

 British pottery." 4 It was re-opened by Thurnam, who found the 

 remains of the skeleton but with no further result. This barrow is 

 on unploughed ground, in good condition, with ditches well defined, 

 especially on the ISLE. side. O.M. 52 NW. ; A. W. I. 66 ; Arch. xlii. 180. 



Warminster. 5 14. "King Barrow," in the grounds of Bishopstrow 

 House, on the boundary of Warminster and Bishopstrow parish. 

 Length 206ft. (Hoare); N". and S. Opened on two occasions by 

 Hoare and Cunnington in the beginning of the 19th century. They 

 found. secondary interments, but apparently failed to find the primary 

 one. Hoare states that a great deal of the mound was carted away 

 in his time, and that the then occupier of the land intended to level 

 the whole of it. Happily this was not done, and the mound now 

 measures in length the same as in Hoare's time (206ft.), and is still 

 high and steep. It is planted with trees and bushes, a large cedar 

 tree standing on its northern end. O.M. 52 N W. ; A. W. I. 72 ; Arch. 

 xlii. 180.
