they were Urns : The Report of which put fome Per- 
lons of more Curiofity upon a further Search 5 and dig- 
ging firft under the Hedge, afterward further into the 
Clofe, found great quantities of them, and feveral very 
near together. There is one Man in the Parifh who 
has been chiefly employed in this Search for feveral 
People, and the Number that he has taken up flnce the 
firffc Difcovery, falls (hort very little of 120. and yet 
the ccmpafs of Ground turn’d up on this Occafion does 
not amount to more than a Rood of Land ( u e. One 
quarter of an Acre ) The Clofe where they are found is 
high Land, and this Place the higheft part of it $ the 
Soil a fharp Gravel, and very dry, and lies next to a 
Highway. As for the Urns themfelves, they are gene- 
rally of the fame Shape, but of very different Sizes. 
The Shape of thefe is conformable to the Reprelen- 
tations ufually exhibited in the Defcriptions of Urns $ 
viz. the Bottom narrow, a little flatted (and in fome 
quite round) wider upward 5 the Top contracted to a 
narrow Mouth : The Earth courfe, the Work rough and 
uneven, but generally well burnt ; fome of them (lightly 
wrought and indented (the Work exprelies very little 
Skill or Care) and fome plain, of which laft fort I have 
one perfectly entire (not yet open’d) 
The Size is various 5 fome of the Capacity of a Quart, 
Ibme two, fome three Quarts, and one I have (unopen’d 
yet) that I believe will contain a Gallon. 
The Pots are very tender when they come firft out 
of the Ground, and frequently (uffer by the Wounds of 
the Spade : They are molt of them broken(more or le(s) 
in the taking of them up, and hardly any that have 
not their Mouths broken 5 of which many of them feem 
to be done, as they lie in the Ground, by the weight 
of the Earth prefling upon them, or the Feet of 
Horfes going over them, as appears by the broken pieces 
©f feveral of them found a good way down among the 
Earth.
