ANTIQUITIES OF SELBORNE. 
and cleaning. In the legends and reverses, there is great 
variety, and some specimens are rare, some may perliaps he 
unique. 
This is understood to be the largest deposit of Ivoman or 
Eonian-British coins ever yet found in Great Britain; and it 
is rendered still more remarkable by tlie fact (already referred 
to), that, in the last century, other large quantities (the num- 
ber has not been recorded) were found within a quarter of a 
mile of the same spot; in the bed of AVoolmer Pond ; some in 
a large pot, probably similar to the vases above mentioned, and 
others (being those mentioned by White) not inclosed in any 
vessel, but appearing to have been hastily thrown or poured 
into the water in a large heap or heaps. These appear to 
liave been, if not wholly, in part at all events, of earlier date : 
and they were probably (at least in part) of greater size and 
value than those found at Blackmoor ; for Mr. Sewell speaks of 
medals, and White speaks of medallions as well as coins ; and 
describes those which he saw as having been in very good 
condition. 
This account of the antiquities discovered in the parish of 
Selborne would be imperfect without adding that, on the ridges 
surrounding the forest basin, of wdiich a description has been 
given, there are (as I reckon them) thirty-five circular tumuli, 
or sepulchral mounds, some larger than others, but none of veiy 
large size; of which eleven are on or near Hogmoor, to the 
north-east (seven together in one place, three near together in 
another, and one by itself apart) ; four are on Whitehill, to the 
east (three together, close to the high road, and one at a little 
distance apart) ; one is by itself on the south-easterly projection 
of the northern Blackmoor Eidge (the ridge on which the church 
and vicarage-house now stand) ; five are in a line together at 
the southern extremity of the western Blackmoor Ptidge (close by 
the high road, overlooking Woolmer Pond) ; six, close together, 
are at the top of the opposite hill, on the other side of Woolmer 
Pond ; four, close together, are in the government fir plantations, 
about a quarter of a mile eastward from the east end of Wool- 
mer Pond ; three are in the highest part of the same planta- 
tions, to the north-west of the high road from Greatham to
