IX.— Report on further Researches in an Anglo-Saxon Burial Ground at Long Wittenham, Berkshire, in the Summer of 1860

I beg leave to lay before the Society of Antiquaries a further report of my researches in the Anglo-Saxon Burial Ground at Long Wittenham, which were renewed in the summer and autumn of last year, with the kind co-operation of the Vicar, the Rev. J. C. Clutterbuck. These researches terminated earlier than I anticipated, and the result appears to show that the cemetery did not extend beyond the limits of the plot of ground called “the Free Acre,” described in my former report. I may mention that I have since ascertained that this plot was formerly known as the “Town Furlong,” and that its enclosures were levelled and obliterated about sixty years since
