110 A SUPPOSED NEOLITHIC SETTLEMENT.
identical with deer-antler implements from the Barrows, Grimes
Graves, and Cissbury, and can be matched with those figured by
Canon Grenwell in his British Barrows (page 43).
[(a) A hammer axe of staghorn, perforated for a handle and
bored for hafting an implement. Five inches in length. Fig. 9,
Pl. III.
(b) A tool of unknown use. The surface has been scraped
smooth and the end has been ground and polished, apparently
from use. The centre part of this end has been slightly hollowed,

but not enough to suppose use for hafting. The perforation at
the other extremity has apparently been broken. Length 51/4
inches. Fig. 10, Pl. III.
(c) Implement of staghorn, pierced as is usual with these
objects, only in a transverse direction. Fig. 11, Pl. III. It has
also a tapering, vertical boring running almost its entire length.
(See section at Fig. 12.) The form of this implement suggests
a handle of some metal tool, and also appears to be worn smooth
by the grasp of the hand. It seems to be an uncommon type.
Length 61/4 inches.—F.W.R.]
