There was found in this instance also an 'ornament of limestone, 4 in. long, convex in front, and flat at the back,' with the ends punctured — apparently an armlet. But all these yield in point of interest and detail of discovery to that found on the moors at Bleasdale, in the same district of north Lanca- shire. There the late Mr. Jackson recently discovered and explored a group of prehistoric remains, placed in a striking position on a knoll of boulders in the middle of an amphi- theatre of moorland hills, about 650 yards due west from Higher Fair- snape Farm. Of these he has handed down an exact and careful record,^ which Professor Boyd Dawkins has supplemented with some illuminatory notes. In the construction of the circles which enclosed some cinerary urns, wood was found in this case to have supplied the place of stone.
