ton Crag, overlooking Morecambe Bay, is another 

 example of these hill fortresses ; Barrows near 

 Market Weighton and Cowlam, in the East Riding 

 of Yorkshire ; they were for the most part incon- 

 spicuous, but contained many bronze and iron relics 

 of great interest and value. Urn-field at Haslemere — 

 objects from this cemetery may be seen in the Hasle- 

 mere Museum ; New Grange Cairn, near Drogheda, 

 Ireland ; the Brochs, or dry-built, circular towers 

 of Scotland — they are, for the most part, demolished 

 and round grassy mounds denote their sites. Dun 

 Telve Boch still retains walls 30 feet high and 12 to 

 15 feet thick ; it is at Glenelg, Invernesshire. These 

 towers are most numerous in the North of Scotland, 

 more than 80 have been counted in Caithness, 60 in 

 Sutherland, and no less than 145 in Shetland and Ork- 

 ney. Interments discovered at Harlyn Bay, Cornwall, 

 in 1900, range from Neolithic up to late Keltic times. 

 " In the earlier and lower interments only the simpler 

 forms of flint, slate and shell implements are found ; 

 in the upper and latest the discoveries comprised 

 bronze ornaments and Roman pottery." Silbury 

 Hill, near Amesbury, Wilts. This famous hill is 

 1,150 feet in circumference and 125 feet high; it is 

 non-sepulchral. 



Neolithic flints may be collected in many places ; 

 they are abundant near Haslemere and may be found 

 on Black Down, where there was apparently a fac- 

 tory. Specimens of the pigmy flints may be had in 

 fair abundance.
