Colt Hoare 1812. No. 12 [Map] is a group of small tumuli, in one of which, immediately under the turf, we found a very rude urn, badly baked, and containing ashes, burned bones, and two pieces of twisted brass wire, which probably once formed a ring: this urn was not inverted. We attempted to open another, but finding that, together with the remainder Of the group, it had been ploughed over, we gave up our researches, as, owing to the slight elevation of these barrows above the level of the ground, their contents would most probably have been destroyed by the continued operations of agriculture.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 13 [Map] is a Druid barrow, which contained a simple interment of burned bones.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 15 [Map], is a Druid barrow, in which we found a deposit of burned human bones within a cist. It had been opened before, and some scattered fragments of bone, led us to suppose that a skeleton had been found, though the other interment had escaped unnoticed.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 23 [Map], Mr Cunnington attempted to explore this fine bell-shaped barrow some years ago, but was unsuccessful. On a second trial, I found that in his former operations he had left off a few inches of a large rude sepulchral urn inverted over a pile of burned bones, amongst which was an elegant pair of ivory tweezers.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 24 [Map] is a very flat barrow, in which were the skeletons of an adult and a child, deposited in a very shallow cist, and which had been disturbed by a prior opening.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 25 [Map] is a wide bowl-shaped barrow, in which we found, within a shallow cist, a skeleton with its head towards the north, and a drinking cup by its right side, and near it a neatly formed pin or needle of bone.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 26 [Map] is situated on the borders of the turnpike road, and produced a large interment of burned bones on the floor, with a cone of jet, two oblong beads of the same substance, eighteen of amber, and a very small cone of the same.

Colt Hoare 1812. From this camp, I shall direct my steps to the gap between the old and new King's barrows, near the former of which is a solitary tumulus, No. 27 [Map], which appeared to have had a prior opening, and to have contained originally, the skeletons of two adults, and two children. Round the arm one of the former was an ornamented bracelet of brass, which the labourers unfortunately trod upon, before they perceived it, and broke it into three pieces, but it has been repaired, and preserved in our Museum.

Wessex from the Air Plates 39 and 40. In the field to the right will be seen a large white spot surrounded by a darker band. It is a round barrow [Amesbury Barrow 27 G41 [Map]], opened by Sir Richard Colt Hoare. It had, he states, been opened before. It contained the skeletons of two adults and two children. Round the arm of one of the adults was the broad bronze bracelet here illustrated, now in the Devizes Museum. (See Ancient Wiltshire, i. 160, Amesbury, Barrow 27; Stourhead Catalogue, no. 160, p. 42; Archaeologia, xliii. 469, fig. 172; Evans, Anc. Bronze Implements, fig. 480.) Goddard’s reference number is ‘Amesbury 41’ (W.A.M. xxxviii. 168).

Above and to the right of the barrow are many circular rings and blobs, probably representing ploughed-out barrows. The sites might repay excavation, since the cists, dug below the surface level, might still be intact.

Colt Hoare 1812. [No. 29 [Map]]. "Then we opened the next barrow to it, enclosed ill the same ditch, which we supposed the husband or father of this lady. At fourteen inches deep, the mould being mixed with chalk, we came to the entire skeleton of a man; the skull and all the bones exceedingly rotten, and perished through length of time; though this was a barrow of the latest sort, as we conjecture. The body lay north and south, the head to the north."

Not dissuaded by the external appearances, and convinced by experience that all interments found near the surface were subsequent deposits, Mr. CUNNINGTON, in 1803, explored the second tumulus, by making a section rather to the south of the centre, when at the depth of six feet, he came to the floor of the barrow, which was covered with ashes; and on digging still further to the south, he bund a fine oblong cist, about eighteen inches deep, fifteen-inches wide, and two feet long; and in it a complete interment of burned bones, and with them six beads apparently of horn, four of which were perforated; the other two were circular, and rather flat, but all appeared as though they had been burned. Dr. STUKELEY made the same observation respecting the articles found in the other barrow; but he must have been mistaken as to the amber, for we know that fire would entirely consume it.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 30 [Map]. A beautiful bell-shaped barrow, and the largest of this group. It measures in diameter from ditch to ditch one hundred and thirty-one feet, and fifteen feet in elevation. The superior size and beauty of this tumulus particularly excited our curiosity, and raised our expectations of success; but alas! after immense labour in throwing out the earth, to the depth of fifteen feet, we found only a simple interment of burned bones, unaccompanied by any urn, the relicts were piled up in a little heap upon the floor arms, or trinkets; where the body had been burned, and close to a small circular cist or cinerarium, which contained black ashes, intermixed with some small fragments of bone.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 31 [Map], a bowl-shaped barrow, one hundred and four Feet in base diameter, and seventy-one and a half in elevation, produced on its floor an interment of burned bones, with a small spear head:

Colt Hoare 1812. and No. 32 [Map], a fine bell-shaped barrow, contained only a simple interment of burned bones.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 33 [Map], is a kind of Druid Barrow, present in an area of seventy-eight feet. diameter, surrounded by a fine vallum without the ditch, but having no elevation, as usual, in the centre. Deprived of this index to the place of interment, we expected much trouble in finding it; but our workmen luckily hit on the very spot; and at the depth of two feet, found a circular cist, containing a deposit of burned bones, together with a great many beads. Some of them were pully beads of glass, two of stone, another of a transparent horn-like substance; but the most were of amber, and much decayed.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 34 [Map] has had a prior opening; and in No. 35 [Map] we could not find the interment.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 34 [Map] has had a prior opening; and in No. 35 [Map] we could not find the interment.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 36 [Map]. The contents of this barrow, in some degree, recompensed us for our disappointment in the two last. It produced three human skeletons, laid from north to south, and immediately one over the other; the first about two feet deep; the second on a level with the adjoining soil. Close to the right side OF the head of this last skeleton was a drinking cup, and with it a considerable quantity of something that appeared like decayed leather. Six feet lower lay the third, with which was found the drinking cup, engraved in Tumuli Plate XVI. When throwing out the bones of this skeleton, we had a strong proof how well they are preserved when deposited deep in the chalk. as they would bear being thrown for a considerable distancc without breaking: the teeth were perfectly white, and not. one of them unsound; but the most remarkable circumstance was, finding a piece of the skull, about five inches broad, that had been apparently sawn off, for I do not think that any knife could have cut it off in the manner in which this was done.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 37 [Map]. In this barrow we found only a large oblong cist, fuli of black ashes, and a few burned human bones; and in No. 38 [Map], after much labour, we missed the interment.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 40 [Map], in point of size, may be called the monarch of the plain, being evidently the largest barrow upon it; and its history still remains veiled in obscurity. The first time we opened it by a very large section, and examined well the floor; but though we perceived symptoms of cremation, in charred wood, &c. we could not discover the primary interment. Nor were our subsequent researches more favourable, and we still remain in ignorance. Perhaps some future antiquary may be more fortunate; and such is the caprice of ancient sepulture, that the deposit may be föand near the top, as in the instance of our flint barrow at Kingston Deveril, (p. 47.)

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 42 [Map]. Nearly opposite the last mentioned barrow, but on the south side of the turnpike road; is a neat circular tumulus, sixty-six feet in diameter, and six feet in elevation, which was opened in 1803, and produced within a circular cist, an interment of burned bones, and a brass pin with part of its handle, deposited in a neat and perfect urn; the latter of which is engraved in Tumuli Plate XVI.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 43 [Map] and No. 44 [Map], These two barrows are included within the boundaries of the CURSUS, and very near the western end of it. In opening the first of these, our labourers discovered, at the depth of three feet, the skeleton of an adult, with a drinking cup, and on the floor of the barrow, another of a child. We afterwards, in a shallow cist, found the third skeleton of-a man, lying with his head to the north, and close to it, on the right side, was a curious pebble, and under his left hand was a dagger of brass. The pebble is kidney-formed, of the sardonyx kind, striated transversely with alternate spaces, that give it the appearance of belts; besides these stria, it is spotted all over with very small white specks, and after dipping it into water, it assumes a sea green colour.

In the adjoining barrow, No. 44 [Map], we found only a simple interment of burned bones.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 49 [Map] is a long barrow.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 50 [Map] is a circular bowl-shaped barrow, in the examination of which, we experienced much perplexity, although not uncommon, owing the Britons having adopted so many modes of burial. At the depth of five feet, we found a regular stratum af flints, intermixed with black vegetable mould; on removing which, we came to the floor of the barrow, in which some excavations had been made, and channels formed. One of these was connected with the cist, which contained a skeleton lying from south to north; in another channel, we found a large branch of a stag's horn; and in a little corner, we took out a shovel-full of bones, intermixed with earth, which were broken almost as small as chaff. Near the feet of the skeleton lay a considerable quantity of very small bones of birds or mice. The day being far advanced, we did not pursue all the channels, and it is very probable that this barrow may contain other skeletons.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 51 [Map], a fine bell-shaped barrows ninety-five feet in diameter, and seven feet in elevation. At the depth of four feet and a half in the native soil, viz. eleven feet and a half from the summit, we found two skeletons with their heads laid towards the north; the one, an adult, the other, a young person, not more than about twelve years of age.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 52 [Map] and No. 53 [Map]. We were unsuccessful in our attempts on these two large barrows. In the former, we perceived several marks of very intense fire, with some earth, quite black, and some burned to a brick colour. In the latter, near the centre, we found a circular cist containing only ashes, but missed the primary interment. An unusual quantity of small bones, probably of birds, was dispersed about the barrow.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 54 [Map]. A fine bell-shaped barrow, eighty feet in diameter, and seven feet in elevation, produced on the floor and near the centre, a circular cist, about eighteen inches wide, and one foot deep, full of wood ashes. and a few fragments of burned bones. About two feet to the north of the above was another cist, of an oblong form, much larger and deeper than the other, which contained an interment af burned bones, piled up ill heap in the centre of the cist.

Colt Hoare 1812. The next barrow, No. 55 [Map], was opened some years ago, and produced only a simple interment of burned bones. A little on the other side of the Devizes road is a mound, which being only a land mark, is not numbered.

Colt Hoare 1812. In the adjoining large flat barrow, No. 56 [Map], we discovered a cist, that had been previously investigated, but on opening it, the workmen found an arrow head of flint near the top.

Colt Hoare 1812. I shall now direct my steps back towards Amesbury, over a beautiful down, abounding with tumuli of various descriptions, The first, group that occurs, is situated near the northern limits of our map, and is numbered from 57 to 65, and consists of four Druid, and five circular barrows. As they all bore the marks of prior opening, I did not attempt any of them: some had been explored a few years ago, by Mr. CUNNINGTON, at a time when no idea was entertained of prosecuting his researches to the present extent, and when no very regular account was kept of his discoveries.¹

Colt Hoare 1812. On the opposite hill is a beautiful group of tumuli, thickly strewed over a rich and verdant down. Their perfect appearance raised our expectations of success, and the attendance of many of my friends from Salisbury, and a beautiful day, enlivened our prospects; but we had again sad cause to exclaim Fronti nullaa fides, Trust not to outward appearances. No arrow heads were found to mark the profession of the British hunter; no gilded dagger to point out to us the chieftain of the clan; nor any necklace of amber or jet, to distinguish the British female, or to present to her fair descendants, who honoured us with their presence on this occasion: a few rude urns marked the antiquity and poverty of the Britons who fixed on this spot as their mausoleum, Unproductive, however, as were the contents of these barrows, it may not be uninteresting to the antiquary, whom either chance or curiosity leads across these fine plains, to know their history.

Note 1. On referring to Mr. CUNNINGTON'S papers, find some account of these barrows. The Druid barrows had been partially opened: in one, he found an interment, with a broken dart or lance of brass; and in another, the scattered fragments or burned bones, a Few small amber rings, beads of the same, and of jet, with the point of a brass dart. In opening the large barrow, No. 57 [Map] he found a cist, at the depth twelve feet from the surface, the remainder (as he thought) of the brass dart, and with it a curious whetstone, some ivory tweezers, and some decayed articles of bone.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 85 [Map] contained originally an interment of burned bones, within a cist, but had been opened.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 86 [Map] had also experienced the same investigation; it had a circular cist, and a cinerarium.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 88 [Map]. A similar, but finer barrow: produced near the surface, just under the turf, the fragments of a rude urn and burned bones, and lower down, a sepulchral urn reversed over a deposit of burned bones.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 89 [Map] has been in tillage: it contained a skeleton, placed in a long circnlar cist, with its head towards the north,

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 90 [Map], in tillage, produced a large urn rudely ornamented, and inverted over a deposit of burned bones,

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 91 [Map] contained an interment of burned bones, deposited on the floor of the barrow; and beneath it was a deep cist, containing abundance of ashes and charred wood, intermixed with particles of bone.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 92 [Map]. In digging down to the floor of this barrow, we discovered the remains of a skeleton, with fragments of a funeral urn, burned bones, and some enormous pieces of staff's horns. Within a cist, excavated beneath the floor of the barrow, lay a skeleton with its legs gathered up, and head placed towards the north.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 93 [Map] contained, near the top, an interment of burned bones, in a rude broken urn, with a small cup; also, the remains of a skeleton, charred wood, stag's horns, and flint apparently prepared for war-like instruments. The primary deposit was a skeleton, with its head placed towards the south-east, accompanied by fine drinking cap, richly ornamented, and in the highest state of preservation, which I have had engraved in Tumuli Plate XVIII. half the size of the original, in order to shew the pattern more conspicuously.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 100 [Map] contained a simple interment of burned bones within a circular cist.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 101 [Map], a similar interment, accompanied with two black rings of some bituminous substance, and one pully bead.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 102 [Map], an interment of burned bones in a cist, with remnants of the cloth in which the relicts were enveloped.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 103 [Map], a deep circular cist with ashes.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 104 [Map] is a large flat circular barrow, which had been opened, and must have proved both interesting and productive to those who first investigated it. In the course of our examination, we found the bones of several skeletons, fragments of urns, and a rude instrument made from a stag's horn; there was also a large and deep cist.

Wiltshire Museum. DZSWS:STHEAD.101. 1 perforated antler pick (ground to an edge at the point and perforated for a handle at the larger end) found with a primary or secondary inhumation in bowl barrow Durrington G50 [Map], excavated by William Cunnington.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 105 [Map] and No. 106 [Map] had been opened by others.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 107 [Map] produced a small interment of burned bones, with a pin of bone at top, and under it, a pile of ashes in a cist.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 108 [Map] is a pond barrow.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 109 [Map], No. 110 [Map], and No. 111 [Map], had been investigated: on opening the first, we found the soil intermixed with the turf, which clearly indicated a prior opening, We were deterred from making any attempt on the second barrow, by a great cavity in its apex; and we found the third had been examined.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 112 [Map] is a double barrow, rising towards the east, and somewhat resembling a long barrow, but ditched all around. The lowest part had been opened, and contained an interment of burned bones. In the other mound, we found an interment of burned bones, secored by a linen cloth under a rude urn.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 113 [Map] had been examined before, but we found in it fragments of an urn and skeleton.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 114 [Map] contained a deposit of burned bones and ashes, in a deep cist.

Colt Hoare 1812. On the south side of Durrington Walls, is an elevated mound, bearing the appearance of a barrow, No. 122 [Map], in which we dug to the depth of eleven feet, but found no sepulchral marks whatever.

Colt Hoare 1812. A little further on the right of the road leading to Amesbury, we see the mutilated remains of an enormous Druid barrow, No. 123 [Map].

Colt Hoare 1812. And still further, on the same side of the road, a very singular tumulus, No. 124 [Map], appearing like three barrows rising from one large base, but certainly a long barrow. It stands from south-west to north-east, and has its wide end towards the west: on the small end, and also on the centre, are mounds resembling two circular barrows. We opened that on the small end, and found only a few ashes and charred wood; but in the central mound we discovered, near the top, a skeleton and a drinking cup, both of which had been disturbed. On reaching the floor of the long barrow, we found a circular cist like a little well, but it contained no interment; from this well-like cist, a tunnel, like a chimney, ascended nearly to the top. I imagine that, as in most of our long barrows, the primary interment would be found at the broad end. In this tumulus we have rather a singular instance of a circular barrow being raised upon a long barrow.

Wiltshire Museum. DZSWS:STHEAD.92. 1 Aldbourne (incense?) cup (distorted by pressure) perforated twice for suspension and decorated with a band of incised zigzags around the flared inner lip and chevrons around the outside of the lip (every other zigzag or chevron of which contained impressed dots) and two bands around the waist - one plain and one with chevrons (below which are a line of dots), found with a primary (?) cremation in bowl barrow Durrington G65c [Map], excavated by William Cunnington.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 125 [Map], in tillage, appears to have been barrow of very large proportions, and there are two others in the corn fields nearer the park, No. 126 [Map], No. 127 [Map], which we have not attempted to open. There are also near them under the hill; same appearances of earthen works much mutilated, which I cannot account for: I once thought they formed part of circle, but I cannot speak with any decision about them.
