resembling the rubber tyre of a bicycle wheel. Bosses of 
similar enamel ornament the middle of the spokes and the 
shoulder of the pin. Very probably the pin had secured the 
back hair of its owner. Its position at the back of the skull 
strongly supports this view, while its equally-ornamented sides 
and edges give additional support to such a use. It has been 
suggested that the pin may have secured the garment at the 
shoulder. If so, the collar-bone (clavicle) ought to have been 
stained with the green oxide from the pin, and not the back 
part of the head. Besides, its shape and ornamentation are 
less suitable for this purpose. 
Nos. 12, 14, and 15 contained adult bodies, two of which 
were each accompanied by a small iron article—probably a 
dress-fastener—near the neck. With No. 14 nothing was 
found. 
Mound 13 is situated in the extreme southern corner of the 
wood. It has a diameter of 27 feet and an elevation of 3 feet. 
Under the centre was a large grave, measuring 8 b feet north 
and south by jb feet east and west, and 2 b feet in depth. At 
the bottom of the grave lay the remains of two adult bodies, 
the iron tires of two wheels, and other pieces of iron belonging 
to a chariot. There were also two snaffle bridle-bits of iron 
(figs. 3 and 4), and several rings (fig. 5) and ornaments of 
bronze (figs. 6, 7, 8, and 9), belonging to the trappings of the 
horses. All were lying in the positions shown in Plate 1. 
Partly under the head of body “A ” lay an iron ring 2 inches 
in diameter and a quarter of an inch in thickness ; whilst on 
the left shoulder were some bones and part of the head of a 
pig, with some teeth and a tusk of the same animal. At the 
loins was a much-corroded article of iron—probably the 
fastening of a girdle, which had been ornamented with two 
bosses, about half an inch in diameter, of white enamel or 
ivory, which seem to have been set in thin bronze sockets. 
Probably this body was that of the owner of the chariot; 
whilst the second body (marked B)—with which no article of 
personal ornament was connected—may have been that of the 
charioteer. 
From the arrangements in the grave, it would seem that the 
chief’s attendant, as well as his chariot, had at the same time
