the level of the ground, and about one foot within 
the peat ; and over it was raifed an artificial hill, about 
eight feet higher than the neighbouring ground ; and 
as the whole hill confided of both peat and meadow- 
ground intermixed together, it plainly appeared, that 
the peat was older than the urn ; and that the perfons, 
who raifed the hill, mud fird have dug a large hole 
in the peat, to bury the urn there, and fo formed 
the hill of the peat and meadow-ground mixed toge- 
ther. Round the hill, where the urn lay, they had 
made alfo many half-circular ridges, with trenches be- 
tween them, one beyond another, in this manner : 
Where a is the river, and c the hill ; and the half 
circles drew fome of the ridges, the number of 
which Mr. Ofgood has now forgot. The urn was 
broke by the peat-fpade, and it came up only in 
fmall pieces, fo that nothing was found in it ; and 
no body happened to be there at that time but the 
peat-cutters. 
No coins of any fort have been found in the peat. 
But there may, perhaps, be a variety of things at 
the bottom of it : but as the peat is always full of 
water, which is never quite drained off, fo it is not 
an eafy matter to examine the bottom.
