Felstead (W. H. Dalton, E.N., vi., 1890, pp. 80-82). J. 
French has found at the base of the Alluvium, 5 feet from 
the surface, a deposit 5 feet in diameter and 10 inches 
thick, containing charcoal and calcined stones [241, 325]. 143 
Braintree [20]. 
Skitt’s Hill, Braintree (J. W. Kenworthy, with reports by 
F. W. Reader, T. V. Holmes, and E. T. Newton, E.N., 
xi., 1899, pp. 94-126, map, sections, and 3 plates and 
numerous figures of the relics). A relic-bed, with debris 
of a pile-dwelling, found about 8 feet from the surface in 
the Alluvium of the Brain. The site is exposed in a brick¬ 
yard. The overlying deposit [apparently Marsh clay] 
contains Romano-British remains. The remains from 
the relic-bed include several perforated axes and hammers 
of red deer antler, flint flakes, a tanged arrow-head, and 
a beautiful example of a flint dagger. The bank of the 
old stream was composed of Pleistocene brickearth yielding 
mammoth and palaeoliths [242]. 144 
Further Report (F. W. Reader, E.N., xiv., 1906, pp. 137-147, 
2 plates, 5 figs.) Gives more accurate details of the 
stratigraphy. Concludes that the Relic-bed is Late Celtic, 
in spite of the “ Neolithic ” implements. Further evidence 
of the cutting of bone by a metal saw is noted. 145
