BRITISH BARROWS NEAR HUNMANBY.

This contained the skeleton of an aged man laid on the right side, 
the head towards the west, and the hands up to the face. At the 
knees were some bones of a pig, the remains of food deposited with 
the buried man. In a barrow about a mile distant from this, some 
bones of a pig were also found alongside two burnt bodies. Fifteen 
feet north of the centre, in an oval hollow sunk about six inches into 
the chalk, was a much crushed and decayed skeleton of a full-grown 
person, laid on the right side, the head being to the west. With this 
body were the remains of a child, some of the milk teeth being left. 
The bodies were covered with large flints, and the pressure of tliese 
on the bones had caused the broken condition in which they were 
found. Nine feet, N.N.W., from the centre another body had been 
buried in an oval hollow, 3 feet by 2i feet, made in the barrow one 
foot above the surface level of the ground. It had been lined with 
wood, a not very infrequent occurrence. The body, that of a man, 
was laid on the left side, the head to E.S.E., and the hands in front 
of the face. Behind the head was a " food vessel " of good form, 
ornamented in the upper part, yet rather rudely made. Fifteen feet 
east by south of the centre were many bones of a body which had 
been disturbed by the plough, to which was also due the partial 
destruction of a well-made "food vessel," which had been deposited 
at the time of burial. At the centre, and laid on the natural surface, 
was a skeleton which had been placed upon wood. It was on the 
right side, the head towards the north, and the hands up to the face. 
At the back of the head was a round flint scraper and two flint flakes 
Beneath the head was another flint flake, and in front of the face, 
between it and the knees, a very well-made flint knife and a large 
flake were found. 
Another barrow, about 200 yards northward of the last, 60 feet 
in diameter, but now only Ij feet high, was found to contain a single 
interment. This had been made at the centre, and the body laid on 
the left side in a slight hollow, made in the original surface and lined 
with wood. The head was to the N.E., and the bones were very 
much decayed. Before the face was a very fine "food vessel," most 
tastefully ornamented with fine lines forming a herring bone pattern, 
and having four unpierced ears at the shoulder, and at the rim a
