half actual size in fig. 12. A
carefully executed full size
drawing of these stakes was
made by me directly they were
found, and the accompanying
illustrations have been photo-
graphically reproduced from
the original sketches. On dry-
ing, the stakes became greatly
shrivelled, twisted, and split,
and the pointed ends hardly
recognizable. However, they
were sent in their shrunken
and cracked condition with
various other things to the
British Museum, Bloomsbury.
Another piece of wood from
the same deposit is shown,
one-half the actual size, in fig.
13. The hacking is seen on
the face, and the right-hand
end has been hacked off.

drawn to a horizontal scale of
two inches to the mile, and a
vertical scale of 100 feet to one
inch. It is taken looking north,
