SPEIGHT : UPPER WHARFEDALE EXPLORATION. 
head pointing due W., the skeleton on the right side. Near the head 
was a bronze-ring-brooch, similar to, but smaller than that found in 
the Capstick Pasture Barrow. 8 feet due E. from the centre of the 
N-S. line were found eleven human teeth. Nothing whatever was 
obtained from the west side of the N-S. trench. The skull from the 
central interment is of the same type as that of the central inter- 
ment of the Capstick Pasture Barrow, with low forehead. Two 
measurements were obtainable, length 6'85 inches, and parietal 
breadth 5*70 inches. One femur from this interment is much rat- 
gnawed. 
About sixty yards S. of this hill, and separated from it by a 
water-worn dip, is a curious place which I first noticed some six years 
ago, and which several members of our committee had examined and 
thought worthy of trial. A massive limestone wall surrounds a 
series of nearly twenty small enclosures, all irregularly constructed 
and arranged, the shape of the whole being an imperfect oblong, 80 
yards by 50 yards. Before excavation, the walls, which are not 
easily distinguishable from the surrounding outcrops of limestone, 
were not more than 1 foot in height, but the digging has made them 
3 feet normally, whatever their original height was. Two of the 
smaller enclosures contained rudely-constructed fireplaces in the S. 
corners ; in almost all was found charcoal or turf-ash, the remains of 
past fires made in the sheltered parts. Animal bones, mainly burnt, 
were most abundant, and were found in seventy-one out of the seventy- 
two holes and trenches made. The finds were as follows : — 
I. Pottery. (Prof. Boyd Dawkins' List). 
1. Lathe-turned ; grey ; ornamented with lines of square stick- 
marks ; glazed yellow-green ; similar to some unglazed Roman 
ware found near Maidstone. 
2. Coarse, thick red ware, with flat bottom ; fragments glazed 
yellow-green ; without sanded paste. 
3. Thinner ware ; also without sand. 
4. Thin red ware, with sand ; outer surface with polished grains. 
5. Fine red ware ; possibly pseudo-Samian. 
G. Coarse, black ware ; with sand.
