vertical stones were about a foot high, enclosing a space 

 six feet long, and rested on the undisturbed rock. The 

 covering stones were about two feet below the surface, 15 

 to 18 inches long, and flat on the inside. In the interior 

 only a few bones were visible, which crumbled to dust 

 when touched. On another occasion a large quantity of 

 limpet shells and a few ormers were found six feet deep 

 on the rock.

 towards this branch valley. Mr. Derrick noticed in the clay 

 some streaks of dark material about j inch wide. 



Rabbit Warren Lane and Salines Lane. 



An excavation in the level east of Hougue des Quartiers, 

 showed a plastic blue clay with sharp sand in patches, and a
