^{page 175 note 1} Salisbury and Winchester Journal, April 7, 1834Google Scholar: ‘Within these few days, several skeletons have been discovered by a party of labourers engaged in widening a path at Old Sarum, a little to the left of the Amesbury road. Notwithstanding the great length of time during which they must have lain there, owing to the dry nature of the soil and the situation of the place, they were in a fine state of preservation.’

Ibid., July 16, 1881: ‘On Thursday evening, while some excavations were in progress in the Recreation Ground near Old Sarum, a skeleton–believed to be that of a man about 30 years of age–was discovered. Some tiles lay near the feet. The grave where it was deposited had been cut out of the chalk. The skeleton, which is perfect except that several of the teeth have disappeared, is 5 ft. 7½ in. long. It… was left untouched in the grave. The skeleton … has no appearance inconsistent with natural death.’ An element of romance attends the recording of this last burial. It was apparently photographed at the time, since the only extant copy known was discovered many years later in Guernsey by Mr. O. G. S. Crawford, F.S.A., to whom we must express our thanks for bringing it to our notice. A copy has now been deposited in the Salisbury Museum.

^{page 182 note 1} The 6 in. O.S. Map (Wilts. LXVI, N.E., 1926 edn.) marks the positions of both a Hospital of St. John and a Church of the Holy Cross outside the East Gate, but inquiry at the Ordnance Survey Office has elicited the information that no reasons are known for these attributions.

^{page 182 note 2} Yet there are certain historical allusions to a House of Lepers in the vicinity. Richard de Otterbourne in 1361 left a bequest of twelve pence to a House of Lepers at Harnham as well as to that of St. John at Old Sarum (Hatcher, H., History of Salisbury, 1843, p. 92).Google Scholar Canon Jackson, J. E., in his paper on ‘Ancient Chapels of Wilts.’ (Wilts. Arch. Mag. x, 304)Google Scholar, was of the opinion that the Hospital or Free Chapel of St. John near Old Sarum had a House of Lepers attached to it.

^{page 185 note 1} It should, however, be mentioned that the majority of the surface finds were of a different fabric, wheel turned, and 50 per cent, of them glazed as against 8 per cent, in the case of the cesspit sherds.

^{page 186 note 4} Only in the case of no. 2 was any quantity of the base of a cooking pot found; this is no doubt attributable to the fact that bases and sides are virtually indistinguishable.
