AN ANCIENT GRAVE IN STILLMAN STREET, PLYMOUTH. 6503 
The Celt, the Roman, and the Saxon, p. 308. This contained no 
urn or vessel, but a layer of charcoal and burnt bones—the remains 
of a funeral pile. Again, the urn from Stillman Street is of some- 
what finer ware than those from British interments, and appears to 
have been made on a potter’s wheel; nor do the fragments show 
any signs of lines or rude ornamentation on the outer surface, so 
common on urns from such graves, but exhibit all the tokens of 
having been subjected to the funeral fire, fragments of charcoal still 
adhering to their surface. This grave therefore, in all probability, 
did not contain the burnt bones of one of the aboriginal natives of 
Devon, but rather those of one who lived after the Romans had 
visited our county, and introduced one of their own modes of 
burial of their dead.
