The body had evidently been reduced to ashes on a flat stone above the cist, and the bottom_ of the urn may have been broken off to admit the cremated remains. For Case 14 see under Case 4 (p. ...30). Cases 15, 16. Sepulchral pottery, mainly from Dorset, excavated by the late Mr. Henry Durden, of Bland- ford. The Milborne barrow measured 10 ft. in height, and 160ft. in circumference. At a depth of 2^ ft. was a cairn of flints 2 ft. high, under which lay two skele- tons on their backs, with the feet to the east. These interments may have been centuries later than the cre- mated remains found in another cairn at the centre of the mound, 4j ft. high, and 16 ft. from east to west. In this mass were found large urns with covers of flint or sandstone, and smaller vessels, indicating nearly fifty burials here.
