edges of the fracture were worn, it is 

 probable that it was deposited in the grave 

 in a broken state. 



Barrow No. 10, a low one, of four feet 

 six inches elevation, contained a burnt body 

 at a depth of about one foot from the apex, 

 surrounded by large flints, and at intervals

Restored— one fourth linear, three more interments. Each collection of 

 burnt bones was encircled with flints. The bones were reduced 

 by fire to very small fragments; and there was no trace of pottery, 

 or relic of any kind, in any part of the mound. 



Barrow No. 11, a low one, slightly elongated in form, contained 

 burnt bones about one foot from the apex, in this case not sur- 

 rounded by flints. The bones had been carefully laid in a heap on 

 mould 18 inches above the level of the ground, and appeared to be 

 the only interment. A fragment of a bone implement was found 

 but no pottery. 



Barrow No. 8. Portions of a thick ornamented jar were found 

 scattered about at various depths, and also one fragment of another 

 vessel of a thinner description of ware. About three feet from the 

 apex was a collection of burnt bones, and seven small beads, two 

 of jet and five of amber, or of some other material, the surface of 

 which has undergone decomposition. At a depth of five feet from 

 the top of the mound we found the bones of the pelvis, two thigh 

 bones and three ribs of a man, with here and there a small fragment 

 of burnt human bone. About six inches beneath these bones were 

 traces of a short wooden plank, six inches wide, one inch thick, 

 and three feet long. The barrow appeared to have been disturbed 

 at an early period. A few days later v^e continued our investiga- 

 tions, and at a depth of 18 inches beneath the wooden plank, found 

 a cist dug out of the chalk, containing an undisturbed interment 

 of burnt bones. 



Barrow No. 9, was imperfectly examined by us, and it was our 

 intention to explore it again on some future occasion. 



In the small low barrow No. 13, we found an empty cist only.
