bruising and a small muller. Spindle-whorls of stone and pottery. One perfect stone celt and a number of broken ones. A perforated disc of slate, 4 inches in diameter. Fragments of pottery both hand and wheel made. A bronze ring. A silver denarius of Vespasian.
Previous records of objects from Carn Brê include bronze celts, and gold coins of British kings contemporary with the early Roman emperors.
A few days at Chagford would enable a keen antiquary to visit most of the Dartmoor antiquities—avenues, menhirs, cromlechs, dolmens, and especially a few groups of hut-circles. Of the circles of standing stones, that at Scorhill is the best on Dartmoor. Its twenty-four stones still in situ, and eight prone, form a circle 90 feet in diameter. It is the northerly termination of a series of prehistoric monuments extending to the Fernworthy circle, some two miles distant. With regard to the hut-circles and dolmens, till a few years ago little could be said of them, as of the former only broken-down rings of stones arranged in groups here and there were to be seen; and as for the latter they were rifled long ago. The Dartmoor Exploration Committee have, however, within recent years done a considerable amount of spade-work, and from their published reports we gather a few definite facts about these primitive habitations and their constructors.
