Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
Upon the commons of Winstor, a village within the King's great manor de Alto Pecco, which were lately inclosed, are divers barrows, or tumuli, chiefly of stone, and among the rest one of earth, which the inhabitants account the more singular. This being lately opened, there were found in it two glass vessels, between eight and ten inches in height, with wide circular mouths, and a little bulge in the middle, and containing about a pint of water, of a light greenish colour, and exceeding limpid. With these was also found a silver collar or bracelet, about an inch broad, joining at the ends in dovetail fashion, and studded with human heads, and other small ornaments, secured by rivets, which might occasionally be detached.
