Colt Hoare 1812. No. 1 [Winterbourne Stoke West Barrow 1 G61 [Map]] is a large and wide Druid barrow, in which it appeared that the primary interment had been moved to make room for the subsequent deposit of a skeleton, which also had been disturbed at some still later period. In examining the cist which contained the skeleton, we observed that the feet had not been displaced; near them was an iron knife; and in our further researches we found at the bottom of the cist several fragments of burned bones, belonging to the remains of the original interment.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 2 [Winterbourne Stoke West Barrow 2 G62 [Map]], like many of the others in this group, is much mutilated, and of large diameter, but not more four feet in elevation. It contained an interment of burned bones secured within a very large brown urn rudely ornamented, which was broken by taking out. A considerable quantity of linen cloth was perceptible among the bones.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 3 [Winterbourne Stoke West Barrow 3 G63 [Map]], a flat barrow, mutilated, and about the same elevation as the last, contained within an oval cist, a simple interment of burned bones, and shreds of linen cloth.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 4 [Winterbourne Stoke West Barrow 4 G63a [Map]] afforded no sepulchral remains, and probably was not intended for a barrow.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 5 [Winterbourne Stoke West Barrow 5 G64a [Map]], a circular flat barrow, contained a double cist; the smallest of which produced a little dagger of brass, and a variety of beads, amongst which were two joints of the vertebral column of a petrified encrinus. The beads, in number about four dozen, were neatly made of clay, but not well burned, except two of the largest, which had been ornamented with faint striæ. Besides the above were a great quantity of curious little shells, in shape like the Hirlas horn used by the Britons, which were perforated lengthways, and formed probably the necklace of some female. (Tumuli Plate XIII.) The large cist contained only the bones of a sheep.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 8 [Winterbourne Stoke West Barrow 8 G66 [Map]], a very irregular flat barrow, three feet high, produced near the centre a large urn standing upright within a circular cist, and containing, amongst an interment of burned bones, a small brass dagger, with a bone top to it, neatly finished, with five holes on the side for so many rivets, by which it was fastened a wooden handle. The urn found in this tumulus was very large, and elegantly formed; (Tumuli Plate XIII.) it contained a few black beads that had undergone the action of fire, and was so closely cemented to the chalk, that we had great difficulty in detaching it from the cist.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 9 [Winterbourne Stoke West Barrow 9 G65 [Map]], a flat circular barrow, contained two small round cists, in each of which was deposited an interment of burncd bones; in one we found curious little double cup;1 in the other, no articles whatever.

Note 1. This cup has a division in the middle, which renders the hollow on each side equal it is unlike in this particular any we have yet found, and is very neatly ornamented in the usual rude style, with the Vandyke pattern. An engraving of it, full size, is given in Tumuli Plate XIII.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 11 [Winterbourne Stoke West Barrow 11 G69 [Map]]. This barrow, more perfect in its external form than the rest, contained within an oblong cist, a simple interment of burned bones.

Colt Hoare 1812. No. 12 [Winterbourne Stoke West Barrow 12 G68 [Map]]. The vallum of this large Druid barrow is so much defaced, and the elevation of the mound so very trifling, that it might easily escape general notice. It contained a very large rude urn, sixteen inches and a half deep, inverted over an interment of burned bones, and within it a smaller vase. With them were found two black rings similar to those before described, but not perforated for suspension, large amber bead perforated, four pully beads, and three of a black colour. The three last mentioned barrows are situated on the outside of the bank and ditch, which, at first sight, bear an equivocal appearance from their singular shape, resembling a pentagon, which I have before, stated as being a favourite form with the Britons; but on a close investigation of them, they appear decidedly of a more modern date than the barrows. The name of the hill, Conigar, and the vulgar tradition of this spot having once been appropriated to a rabbit-warren, will corroborate this conjecture, and ascertain the origin of this earthen enclosure. On the adjoining hill, called High Down, and to the N. W. of the group of barrows, are the decided remains of a British village, in which we found coins of the Lower Empire, pottery of various sorts, with animal bones, and all the usual indicia of an ancient British and Roman population.
