The Bronze Age Round Barrows of Kent
About 170 round barrows and 15 flat graves from Kent are here recorded, almost all on the Chalk. In addition there are at least as many ring-ditches, mostly of ploughed-out round barrows, in Thanet, only a small selection of which are here included as a full list is being prepared by the Trust for Thanet Archaeology. Nine sites have yielded primary central inhumations and ten have contained primary central cremations. Four sites have yielded buri…

Barrows in the Anglo-Saxon Land Charters
The Saxons used beorh for prehistoric barrows and hlæw for their own barrows, but pleased themselves which term to use for prehistoric barrows containing intrusive Saxon burials (e.g. Rough Barrow, Cheselbourne 8b, Dorset; Cwicelmes Low, Ardley, Oxon.; the better known Cwichelmes Low (East Hendred, Oxon. ex Berkshire) is mentioned not in a charier but in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle . Long barrow Swell IV, Glos., contained Saxon intrusive burials. T…

The Popular Names and Folklore of Prehistoric Sites in Menorca
THIS paper follows the general pattern of the study of the evidence from the British Isles (Grinsell 1976), Corsica (Carrington and Grinsell 1982), and Majorca (Llompart 1960). The chief elements will first be considered in alphabetical order and illustrations taken wherever possible from the offical list of prehistoric monuments (Monumentos 1967), here quoted by letter and number. The key to the letters follows: A Group of sites, or one of such …
The Folklore of Some Archaeological Sites in Corsica
DESPITE the assertion of Prosper M6rim6e (1840/1971, 662) that 'il n'y a point de gens moins superstitieux que les Corses,' numerous works on Corsican folklore exist to show the contrary. Frederic Ortoli (1883) was the pioneer in this branch of research. Since then numerous collections of folktales have appeared, and in recent years, some in-depth studies of occult practices and beliefs. The evidence of the folklore connected with the archaeologi…
The Naveta of Els Tudons (Menorca)
The Naveta of Els Tudons (Boat of the Wood-pigeons) is the name of a prehistoric tomb whose shape resembles an upturned boat, situated on the estate of Els Tudons about 4 km east of Ciudadela. On one of the walls of Mahon Airport is shown a greatly enlarged reproduction of the engraving of it from Die Balearen in Wort und Bild (II, 1897, 419) by the Archduke Louis Salvator. This monument, and a Taula, are indeed the symbols of Menorca's past and …
The Cerne Abbas Giant
The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to a major change in the internal iconography of the Giant since it was first illustrated in 1764. If, as is highly probable, that illustration was substantially correct, the navel has in the meantime, through the vicissitudes of periods of neglect alternating with renovations from time to time, ceased to have a separate existence and has become added to the penis, increasing the length of the latter…

Disc-Barrows
An attempt is made to classify and list in detail the known disc-barrows in and around Wessex—about 170 in all, 155 being of normal type, 13 of ‘Dorset’ type, and two of exceptional character. Of these, 93 are in Wiltshire, 57 being within ten km of Stonehenge, and 36 within five km of that monument, which evidently acted as a magnet in attracting major barrow cemeteries to its vicinity. The normal disc-barrow is of the ‘Wessex culture’ of the Ea…

The Preparation of Archaeological Reports
Barrow Treasure, in Fact, Tradition, and Legislation
THE first part of this study comprises a review of the evidence for the use of barrows as repositories for coin-hoards and other treasure, especially in Britain. The second part comprises a study of the various traditions of treasure concealed in barrows. The third is concerned with the influence that belief in barrow treasure exerted in the formulation of Treasure Trove legislation in Scandinavia and Britain

Fourth Report of the Sub-Committee of the South-Western Group of Museums and Art Galleries on the Petrological Identification of Stone Axes
Near the conclusion of the Third Report, which summarized the work on 710 specimens, the authors stated that it was ‘likely to be the last major report of the South-Western Sub-Committee’, and so it seemed at the time. During the 10 years that have elapsed since then, another 490 specimens have been examined, from the following counties and museums or collections: This report therefore extends the list of specimens examined by this Committee from…
The Breaking of Objects as a Funerary Rite
SOME of Dr Margaret Murray's most notable contributions to learning have been in the fields of Egyptology, Near Eastern and Mediterranean archaeology, ethnology, folklore, and witchcraft; it is therefore appropriate that this study in her honour should be related to almost all of these fields of enquiry. It is based to some extent on parts of lectures delivered to the Folk-Lore Society in 1951, and to Section H of the British Association at Brist…

The Bronze Age Round Barrows of Wessex
The area covered by this survey, which epitomizes the writer's work on Wessex barrows since 1929, is limited on the west by a line drawn from Weston-super-Mare to Bridport, on the east by a line drawn from Dorking to Arundel, on the north roughly by the northern limit of the chalk downs south of the Thames, and on the south by the sea. It encloses the great majority of bell, disc, and saucer barrows, all of which appear to be expressions of Piggo…

The Boat of the Dead in the Bronze Age
In many parts of the world and at many periods the practice has prevailed of depositing boats, or models or other representations of them, with the dead, either as a means of facilitating his supposed voyage to another world, or as a symbol of his maritime activities during his lifetime.That the former is generally the correct explanation of the custom there can be no doubt. This is shown by the evidence of the belief in a voyage to a future worl…
