MORTIMER : STAR-WORSHIP INDICATED BY GROUPING OF BARROWS. 205 
Group No. 11 has thirty-six barrows. The central portion of 
them only is given on the diagram, and shows nearly three complete 
figures of this familiar and striking northern group of stars. The 
remainder of these mounds are placed in twos and threes. 
Group No. 12 occupies a site in the immediate neighbourhood 
of Driffield. Only eight barrows now remain, and they show no 
definite design, probably from the removal of several of their com- 
panions. 
Group No. 13 consists of twenty barrows, ten of which are in 
two clusters, and appear as if they were intended, when completed, 
to form two of the usual figures. The next eight mounds of this 
group first suggested to me a perfect plan of " Charles' Wain," 
with the additional mound to correspond with the star " Cor-caroli," 
as already described. 
There are also two more mounds connected with this figure, one 
midway between the two barrows which correspond to the two points 
in "Charles' Wain," the other between the mound corresponding to 
the more distant pointer-star, and the one at right angles to the line 
formed by the two pointers. These two additional mounds correspond 
to two small stars that can only be observed on clear nights. It will 
also be noticed that the two mounds forming the narrow or shaft end 
of this, and also three other figures of " Charles' Wain," appear 
abnormal, as they bend in the opposite direction to the terminal 
ends of most of the other figures, and of the astral model. This is 
what would happen in copying the figure of " Charles' Wain " in 
certain positions, when the direction in the bend of the shaft looks 
a little uncertain. 
Group No. 14 consists of nineteen barrows — not shown on the 
diagram — in four clusters of four, eight, four, three mounds, respect- 
ively in a line. A slight variation of the eight mounds, and a few 
additions in the three other clusters, would give the figure of 
" Charles' Wain " I have shown to be so frequent amongst the 
barrows in this division of east Yorkshire. 
In the upper middle portion of Group No. 15 are the ten 
mounds shown on the plan, seven of which are placed in the readily 
recognised order that occurs so frequently in the preceding groups.
