PREHISTORIC REMAINS FROM LINCOLNSHIRE. 



T. SHEPPARD, F.G.S., F.S.A.Srox. 



The following notes refer to a number of relics of prc-Roman 

 date from Lincolnshire, which have not as yet been j^laced on 

 record. Some of the specimens have been found comj^aratively 

 recently ; others have been secured after having been in more 

 or less obscure places for some \'ears. The objects are of the 

 Bronze Age ; a few are Neolithic. Palaeolithic man does not 

 appear to be represented in the county. 



The three vases shown in the accompanying illustration 



Cinerary Urns and ' Incense Cup ' from a tumulus at Kirton Lindsey. 



were found in a barrow at Kirton Tngs. on the estate of the 

 late George Hunsley, of Kirton Lindsey. They were exposed 

 whilst digging for rabbits, and the two large vessels were slightly 

 .damaged, but have since been repaired. The cinerary urns 

 represent cremated burials of the Bronze Age, and are fairly 

 typical in shape and ornamentation. Each contained cremated 

 human bones, and inside the smaller cinerary urn was the 

 small, plain ' incense cup,' shown in the middle of the photo- 

 graph.
