Here, on one of the ledges, a‘portion of a skull was noticed, and this, consisting mostly of the lower part, was found to be associated with Upon clearing away the accompanying soil and stones, it became evident that the remains related to two individuals, \ The first of these—let us call it Ahad been buried in a contracted position in. a shallow grave, about 6 inches deep, whith stones, was fairly perfect; the other bones were much broken, and most of their ex- tremities were missing./ The skull and one of the femurs have been submitted to an eminent authority, whose report is appended. The bones include/all the bones of the skeleton, excepting some of the small bones of the hands and feet. Nothing else was found within the grave except the usual dark soil and stones with scori, potsherds, and land-shells, which together makeup Bed 2. With regard to the age of the interment, it is not possible to speak with complete certainty, owing to the unsatisfactory con- dition of the deposit when discovered. In the strata overlying the skeletons there were no signs/of disturbance such as might have been expected had a grave been dug down through materials already deposited ; more- over, the two large masses of stone which partly protected the skeletons were so placed as to suggest that the superincumbent loose stones over a space about 2 feet square. The skeleton lay on its left side, with its head directed to the south-east, and its face to the south-west, while the skull was pro- tected by two unhewn stones leaning against, each other in the form of a rude arch. Of this skeleton little was missing except some of the small bones of hands and feet. The second skeleton, B, was less com- plete; the upper portion of the skull was entirely missing, while many of the bones were very friable through decay, The diseased tibia found among the débris in the quarry below, probably belonged to this skeleton. The lower jaw lay on the hips of A. It would thus appear that after A had been forced into the grave, B was placed immediately above and in such a. position that the head rested on A’s hips. The greater portion of b’s body would thus lie outside the grave, and still nearer the steep surface. ‘The result has been that subsequent quarrying operations and the crumbling away of the edge of Bed 2, aided by the erosive action of the sheep, had together uncovered and disturbed part of the inter- ment previous to our visit. The skull of A, found below the protecting we infer that the interment is not later than It may then be either earlier or of the same age. Now, if any great interval had elapsed between the inhumation of the remains ayd the deposition of Bed 2, we should havé\expected the interstices between the bones tO have become filled in with ordinary soil and rainwash. Such, however, was not the case;\and seeing that the infilling materials differed no respect from those immediately above, \t would appear that, after deposition, no Nong period elapsed before the remains wer& covered by Bed 2. As this apparently must \be referred to an Early Iron age, we are of ‘opinion that the interment must be assigned to the same period. ' In the soil at the south-western angle of the quarry lumps of iron-slag are specially abundant. Here also were found several small fragments of bronze. With these metallic remains were associated numerous pieces of red-burnt and partly vitrified clay, samples of which we submitted to Professor W. Gowland, with a view to ascer- taining whether it might be refuse from the smelting of copper or lead; he reports, how- ever, that neither of these metals is present, me the remains had been interred.
