ANTIQUITIES.
A. few days since, a large oblong British nr
Danish Barrow, was opened in the parish,of Domes-
bourne Abbots, in Gloucestershire ; in which was
found a Kidrarn or Cromlech, containing about eight
or nine bodies of different ages, many of the bones
'of which, and the teeth, were entire. The whole
length of the Barrow, diagonally, was about fifty
; yards ; straight over the stones about forty ; the
width aboutlhirty yards ; and the distance like/AA
the two great stones, twenty-four feet. 'rhe Bar-
row was composd of loose quarry-stones, laid in
strata near the rest stones, and brought from A
distance. The lafeest stone, which has been
known in the eduntty by the name of the 'lore :bor.
is of the.kind of Grey Withers, or Stooft.fleneee it
is flat oil the East side, and round on the side which
is in the Barrow ; is twelve feet high from the base;
and fifteen in circumference. Tire other stone lies
almost fiat on the ground, and is about three yards
square, and one foot thick. This covets the h7;sfreen
which contains the bones, and which is divided into
two cells, about four feet square each, and sir
deep. There is little doubt of its being British ;
and it may be called the' early Ahar.• or Family
Monomeric. There are several other Barrows in
the neighbourhood ; and it is singular, that the
farm adjoining is called Tack Barrows, prnhatiF a
corruption or abbreviation of some other name.
The bones are re-buried ; but the Barrow, and the
Tomb, will be left open some time longer, for the
inspeetion of the curious.
Commodore KIWIS lies succeeded to the com-
mand off Rochfort : he arrived in the evening after
the at.tion.
In comer:metier of a communication being opened
