10 JOUENAL OF AN EXCUESION TO EASTBUEY AND 
liouse, the property of a M' Chafin,^ whose father was some- 
time Member for the County : was agreably surprizd by 
finding within two feilds of the house, another Barrow^ of 
exactly the same construction as that found yesterday, only 
Larger, it being 100 paces in lengh : its bearings also 
Y/ere different, it being pretty near East and West. It had 
visibly been opend in two places, which made me curious to 
enquire what had been found. Upon my asking, the Young 
M'' Chafin inform'd me that his father had opend it about

Barrow, more to the westward, was never carried deep 
enough, so nothing was discoverd in it. On the side of 
the Barrow found Thesium linophyllum and Othonna 
integrifolia [Senecio campestris].

see M'" Portman's, situate upon the Biver Stour, just at

Boad, all the appearance of a very pretty Place, but upon 
our finding M'" Portman at home, for Reasons of Ceremony, 
we were not permitted to see it. In the way, however, 
discoverd a third Barrow like the other two. which certainly 
is what the Bishop meant, being situate upon the Downs. 
My time however is now so short, that it is impossible to 
get men together to open it. 
19. — Went this morn to Kinston Hall in the Vale of 
Winbourne, to see M*" Banks,^ my namesake, an old 
Batchelor of 70 and more. His house is an exceeding good 
one, but quite of the last age, as there is not one sash in the 
whole. Its furniture, however, of Pictures is very Capital ;
