some circular bits of bone. See J. Brent in Soc. Antiq. Proc. Ser. II, i, 330; Arch. Cant. iv, 34; Cant. Olden Time, 14, 32, 44,48,52 and plates v. 1,2,5 (bracelets), vi (glass beads); Cant. Mus. Catal 45, pl. 1. A writer in Gent. Mag. 1863 (1),. 355, records as from ‘lately found graves,’ two Roman coins, each in a small iron box, a key of’ bright white metal,’ an iron pin and a wooden comb; this seems a distorted version of the preceding. . In 1883, in excavating near the railway station, thirty skeletons were dug up 5 ft. to 10 ft. deep. They lay with their feet to the east (as far, as could be judged), and by one of them were traces of wood, i.e., of a coffin, two armlets, both on one arm, two. or three rings, a fibula, a coin, a bit of embossed Samian, a black urn and some curious flints. (C. Brent in Brit. Arch. Assoc. Journ. xxxix, 406; hence Antiquary, viii, 266, etc.). In 1901 a richer find was made in Martyrs’ Field, where a grave contained a bronze jug, 8 in. high, with ornamented handle, a ‘libation bowl’ or pan 7½ in. in diameter, also with ornamented handle, three bronze armlets, some bronze tweezers, a bronze implement fitted with a ‘small double moveable prong, a glass ‘toilet phial’ and three earthen vessels (F. Bennett Goldney, Proc. Soc. Antiq. xviii, 279, with plates not giving the exact provenance; the jug and bowl are in the Cant. Mus.) (P1. XIII, Nos. 2-5). From the same quarter came a bronze statuette of a common, type of Minerva, found in Martyrs’ Field, now also in the Museum, and an oval brooch, formed by an amethyst or similar stone rising conically from a border of plated gold engraved with diagonal lines, found about i 86o: described Brit. Arch. Assoc. Journ. xvi, 324, pl. 23 (4.), and briefly by J. Brent,’ Arch., Cant. iv, 35; Proc. Soc. Antiq. Ser. II, i, 330 (miscalling it Anglo-Saxon), and Cant. Olden Time, 46, p1. ix, 3; hence C. R. Smith, Collection Ant. iq. vii, 20 3, and plate. Two similar brooches are recorded from Swaffham in Norfolk (V.C.H. i, 321) and Wickham Brooke in Suffolk (Gent. Mag. 1788, ii, 702); with the latter were found Constantine coins, and the type of brooch seems of that period..
   5. The St. Martin’s Hill cemetery. In 1926, during the preliminary excavations for, a housing scheme on the Littlebourne road, adjacent to the Mill House Inn and about 400 yds. from St. Martin’s Church, a Roman cremation-cemetery was discovered in and near the new Windmill Road. A dozen or more burials seem to have been disturbed, and the pottery, now in. the Canterbury Museum, is wholly or mostly of 2nd-century date. Intrinsically the most remarkable piece is a pot-lid with a cupped handle and rough but bold figures of a stag and. hounds applied to the main upper surface. A Samian dish (a late example of form 31, probably of late 2nd- or, 3rd-century date) bears on the underside of the base a graffito resembling the Chi-Rho in its supposedly later form; but it is not recorded whether this particular dish forms a part of a grave-group (Arch. ‘Cant. xl, 97; Ant. Journ. vii, 321).
   6. Isolated burials, including some of uncertain date.
   (i) A rude sarcophagus of uncemented bricks and tiles, containing human bones, was met with in the drainage works of 1860—1 under High Street, opposite the Medical Hall, lying at right angles to the present street line, midway between the supposed Roman foundations at the County Hotel and those at the Fleur-de-Lis (Brent in Arch. Cant. iv, 36, and Proc. Soc. Antiq. Ser. II, i, 327). There seems no clear reason for calling this Roman.
   (ii) A Roman urn containing ashes, some glass beads, pins, and a bone needle were found under the garden of a house near to St. Margaret’s Church, apparently No. 31, St. Margaret’s Street, immediately south of the church (Brent in Arch. Cant. iv, 28, and Cant. Olden Time, 42).
   (iii) A small black burial urn, with Samian and Upchurch fragments near it, was found in 1871 in Burgate Street, under a yard between Iron Bar Lane and the Corn Exchange, 10 ft. deep and below two Roman mosaics which lay one above the other, p. 66 (Brent in Proc. Soc. Antiq. v, 128, and briefly Cant. Olden Time, 42).
   (iv) A ‘Roman mortuary urn, filled with burnt bones,’ was found 8 ft. deep in, what seemed alluvial soil, under St. George’s Street close to the church. The soil below contained skulls of bos longifrons and a small species of boar (Brent in Arch. Cant. iv, 36, and briefly Cant. Olden Time, 20, 42; Proc. Soc. Antiq. Ser. II, i, 328).
   (v) A skeleton lying east and west was found in 1867—8 in Mercury Lane, near the Christ Church Gate of the Cathedral Close, 7 ft. deep, in black mould (Pillbrow in Arch. xliii, 162). There seems no reason for calling this Romano-British.
   (vi) In St. Peter’s Street, midway between St. Peter’s Grove and the Black Griffin, was found in 1867—8, at 8 ft. deep, the skeleton of a tall, strong man, feet to the west, wrapped in clay, protected on the sides by large rough stones and covered with flat red tiles; near were Roman coins and potsherds and a goat’s skull and horns (Arch. xliii, 152, plan no. 88).
   (vii) At the same period ‘a black urn containing calcined bones, a bottle and a saucer’ were unearthed between the river Stour and the schools in St. John’s Place, Northgate Street (ibid. 154, no. 91 on plan).
   (viii) At the corner of the Borough and Palace Street, a black vessel containing burnt bones was found in 1867—8, and a little further south, about the same time, a more curious discovery was made, at 9 ft. deep—burnt bones, a bit of metal, and a bit of’ something allied to very fine porcelain,’
