DISOOVBBT OS - - AJTCIENT DWEHIKGS.— • Between WeaverthOrpe and Helperthorpe, in the Wold valley of the East Riding, there "are" several, low, irreetularly-sliapedL mound_,dn7 'the grass fields adjoining the high road. During the visit of the. archaeologists to. the Wolds •{observes* the Builder), it was resolved; tb7 see if these 7 mounds were places of sepulture. 7 Mr W. LovoU/: of Helperthorpe,' selected:one of itheiargesfe.il JEt a was found that the mound was no sepulchre, bu_;r that it was composed of various stratifications of old _ floors and earthly accumulations. The section in the centre, at four feet deep, showed the curved Une of the original hoUow, and above these portions of British pottery, bones of deerYL ox, and swine^ were found. At a higher level- #_«■ i another dark line, not hoUowed, and above this large quantities of pottery of undoubted Soman make were found. StiU higher, paved floors, as if on the hearth, showed signs of burning, and part of a large vessel, very Uke Anglo-Saxon ware, and an unmistakeable Anglo-Saxon bead ; were met with, nearer the present surface 'the glazed pottery of Mediaeval times was -found, with iron naUs and other objects. The mound showed very clearly that it had been accumulated during the ocoupanoy of successive peoples. A - weU-marked ancient trackway passes just to the north.
