was found a small circular bronze box, about two inches in 
diameter, with a lid, both of which are ornamented ; attached 
to the box was a short portion of a bronze chain, two larger 
bronze links, a ring-shaped fibula, and a small iron knife. 
These objects, together with the skull from this skeleton, 
have been presented to our Museum by Mrs. Hamer. The 
skull, which is much compressed by the weight of the soil, 
has a narrow forehead and considerable protrusion of the 
jaws and teeth, and enlarged occiput: a general conformation 
which would lead to the supposition that it belongs to the 
long boat-shaped or kumbe- cephalic type of Wilson ; the 
position of the body, however, and the different articles 
interred with it, are evidently not indicative of a Celtic burial, 
but of Anglo-Saxon. 
In a third tumulus, on the Moor Ings, a spear-head or 
arrow-headed weapon, ten inches in length, was found. Its 
form is somewhat peculiar, as it is hastate or perfectly arrow- 
headed, but attached to a shaft of the same material,, which, 
however, is not perfect, but appears much acted upon by 
time on the surface edges, from the drawing sent to me. It 
is described as bronze; which, however, from its corroded 
condition, I think may be an error. 
On the Hambleton Training Ground are two flat tumuli, one 
on each side of the Cleave Hike, known as the Grooms’ Stools. 
These are about 70 yards in circumference, and four feet in 
height. One has been opened by the Hev. Wm. Green well, 
in 1864, with what results I am not aware; and the other 
by Mr. Manners Yerity, on the 31st of July, 1863, who found 
between forty and fifty flint flakes, about 18 inches from the 
centre. On reaching the natural surface of the moor, a little 
to the west, a rough flat piece of stone was discovered resting 
upon a bed of clay, and closing the mouth of an urn 13 
inches in diameter and 12 in depth, which was sunk in the 
soil, and surrounded with clay mixed with charcoal and pieces
