Three Grinding-Stones
In March 1961, while inducting Mr. Inigo Jones into the wardenship of the Fyfield Down National Nature Reserve, I showed him the cup-markings I had found in the preceding spring on a sarsen in Delling Penning, not far without the reserve but on the same Wiltshire high ground. Appreciating his interest in these recondite prehistoric sculpturings and in the published account thereon that followed my report to the Society of Antiquaries, I asked Mr.…
The Palaeoliths of Boyn Hill, Maidenhead
By this communication to the Society, the author aims at drawing attention to the Palaeolithic archaeology of Boyn Hill, the western and highest part of the Berkshire town of Maidenhead. The name of this area is of course familiar to all geologists and to many antiquaries because it has so long been applied to most significant features of the Thames valley. Curiously enough, although Boyn Hill is held as classic ground, the Pleistocene deposits h…

Palaeoliths from the lower reaches of the Bristol Avon
The fact that the Pleistocene ice-sheets mantled so great a part of Britain was long regarded as sufficient explanation of the absence of Lower Palaeolithic remains from the territory south of a line drawn from the Wash to the Bristol Channel. Recent work and finds, however, show that during genial conditions early man certainly moved quite far into areas freed by the waning ice during periods of retreat. Thus, from extremes beyond those cited, t…
The Magdalenian Tectiform of La Mouthe and Its Modern Counterpart
V.— A Stone Industry from Morar, Inverness-shire; Its Obanian (Mesolithic) and Later Affinities
In 1937 Dr. W. A. Munro, H.M. Chief Inspector of Schools, Edinburgh, sent me a large number of stone artifacts which he and his family had collected in Morar, Inverness-shire, whence nothing of the kind had ever been reported. Recognizing from his specimens and description of the site that a peculiar interest attached to the relics, I determined to visit the place. Since this lies in what during thewar was a strictly prohibited area, my desire wa…

IV.— Châtelperron: A New Survey of its Palaeolithic Industry
Some years ago the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum, London, acquired the prehistoric collections resulting from the late Dr. Joseph Bailleau's excavations and researches in the Allier, that département which forms part of the old province of Bourbonnais, Central France (fig. I). The most important series is the classic one from a multiple cave, La Grotte des Fées, in the commune of Châtelperron. Stone and bone artifacts from here have long bee…
The stone industries associated with the raised beach at Ballantrae
More than three thousand pieces have been collected. There is evidence to suggest that some of the flint was imported from Ireland. Tools include flakes, scrapers, burins, microburins, cores, knives and arrowheads. Four of the items are made from Arran pitchstone. The industries have both Mesolithic and Neolithic components

Unrecorded Microliths from Tentsmuir, Deeside, and Culbin
It has recently been noted that small stone microliths occur further north than previously thought. The artefacts are described in detail and illustrated. The types from Tentsmuir are new with an absence of true geometric shapes, a preponderance of obliquely trimmed blades and a lack of diminutive microliths. The general distribution of microliths in Scotland is considered

The Campbeltown Raised Beach and its contained Stone Industry
The relics are distributed throughout the upper part of the raised beach deposits, but locally they are concentrated. They originate from shore occupation-sites dating back to the period of rising sea-level, and they were incorporated into the beach\r\nformation during the emergence. The rolled and/or heavily patinated condition of some of the lithic products suggests they are older than their unscathed companions; yet no typological difference w…
The Palaeoliths from the Gravels of the Lower Boyn Hill Terrace around Maidenhead
The author, having on 10th November 1938 laid before the Society a paper on the Palaeolithic contents of the higher part of the Boyn Hill Terrace between 160 and 200 ft. O.D., as represented at East Burnham, Bucks, now desires to discuss the archaeology of the lower division. As researches have also been conducted on the Berkshire side of the Thames, the present record includes a summary of discoveries made on both banks
The Palaeolithic Sequence at Iver, Bucks. With an Appendix on the Geology
References to palaeolithic implements from the Pleistocene deposits in the Buckinghamshire parish of Iver have appeared from time to time in the Proceedings of learned societies. The British Museum Guide to Antiquities of the Stone Age , 1926, p. 46, mentions artifacts from this district, where palaeoliths have been collected for nearly half a century, but a general summary has not been made showing the sequence of cultures and the significance o…
The Palaeolithic Contents of the Gravels at East Burnham, Bucks
As far back as 1880 the late Mr. W. Whitaker noted signs of several terraces on the left bank of the Thames, down-valley from Maidenhead, but he did not specifically mention the locality east and north-east of Taplow, Buckinghamshire (fig. 1). In this district, which includes the parishes of Burnham and Farnham Royal, terrace features resemble those discernible between Cookham and Bray Wick, Berkshire, where Messrs. Ll. Treacher and N. J. Osborne…

Ardlui Megaliths and their Associations; Crosses at Luib and Alloway and a Short cist at Ednam, Roxburghshire
The article considers the use of megaliths and large boulders as markers for boundaries and meeting places and the traditions surrounding them in the Loch Lomond area. An incised cross pillar at Suie is thought to be early Christian. In Alloway, the relationship of crosses at Cambusdoon and Blairston with Mungo's Well are considered. A short cist discovered at Ednam contained a crouched skeleton and a worked flint
Some Antiquities in Strathfillan, Perthshire. Cupped Boulder near Helensburgh, and Cross-slabs in Glen Fruin, Dumbartonshire
The ruined chapel of St Fillan's is traditionally connected with Robert the Bruce. Little survives other than a heart-shaped font. The graveyard contains carved slabs and there is a well nearby. There are also a number of cairns, cup-marked boulders, and a stone circle in the immediate vicinity. A boulder near Helensburgh has many cup-marks and the site of St Bride's Chapel at Glen Fruin is in fact a cairn. Across-slab is preserved nearby. An inc…
Some Ancient Crosses in Dumbartonshire and adjoining Counties
At Craigmaddie Muir the complete group of carvings on a living rock consists of the cruciform figure, a small cup-shaped hollow, a small serpent-like carving, and another like the impression of the right foot of an adult above the medium height, all fairly well preserved. Three crosses are in the churchyard at Luss. Two are carved slabs with Latin crosses. The third had originally been free-standing and was carved on both sides. Two stones at Ros…
The Capelrig Cross, Mearns, Renfrewshire: St Blane's Chapel, Lochearnhead, Perthshire; and a Sculptured Slab at Kilmaronock, Dumbartonshire
The Capelrig Cross is the shaft of a free-standing cross in its original socket which has been removed to Kelvingrove Museum. The decoration on all four surfaces is double beaded interlaced work which is poorly preserved. The ruined chapel of St Blane was a plain rectangular building. A nearby boulder is carved with two incised stones. A recumbant slab in the churchyard at Kilmaronock displays a cross, a sword, circles and a series of squares

Ecclesiastical Remains in the Neighbourhood of Luss, with Notes on some Unrecorded Crosses and Hog-backed Stones
An account of the island of Inchtavannoch in Loch Lomond thought to be the site of a religious foundation linked with the pre-Columbian missionary St Kessog. Carved tombstones and crosses from Luss Kirkyard and the ruins of St Michael's Chapel, Glen Luss are described in detail. Two previously unrecorded cross-slabs from Dalgety, Fife and Kirkbride, Dunure and three hog-backed tombs from Logie and Tulliallan are reported

Scottish Gravers of Flint and Other Stones
Gravers were common during the Upper Paleolithic and continued to be used in degenerate form in the Mesolithic. The essential characteristic of the graver is the chisel-edge formed by the meeting of two bezels, single or multi-faceted, at the extremity of a flake or blade, or sometimes of a core lending itself to suitable treatment. Most Scottish examples have been found in Tweedside
A Levallois Side-scraper from the Brickearth at Yiewsley, Middlesex
Of late the Levallois industries of the Thames valley have attracted notice, and an endeavour has been made to show analogies with artifacts of this culture from northern France. In describing implements recovered from the deposits north of and slightly above the 100-ft. contour near Iver the present author drew particular attention to Levallois relics found in the red and grey brickearth overlying solifluxion gravel, with stratified gravel below…
