The Excavation of a Barrow on Caebetin Hill, Kerry, Montgomeryshire. duly, 1931. By H. NOEL JERMAN, B.A. The mound which it was found possible to excavate is situated on Caebetin Hill, a spur running north-eastwards from the main Kerry Hill range. It is not marked as a tumulus on the Ordnance Map which is not surprising since it has been so much ploughed down as to be almost indistinguishable from the normal profile of the neighbouring land. Its position on the highest point of the spur, however, rendered it an admirable position for a trigonometrical station, the height of which has been in consequence accurately determined as 1,361 feet above O.D. (v. 6in. Ordnance Map, Mont- gomeryshire XLIII., S.E.) The vegetation of the immediate vicinity is now rough grass and fern, typical of highland pasture, though there has been a coniferous plantation quite near. The site is, however, above the present indigenous tree level. The dimensions of the mound are diameter-about 80 feet (circumference roughly 250 feet), and height in centre-4 feet. The probability is that originally the mound was higher, but much smaller in diameter. Shortage of labour and lack of time made it impracticable to try to remove the whole of the mound, section by section, in the approved fashion. It was decided, therefore, as being the most efficient compromise to cut an eight feet wide trench due north-south through the mound, removing all the soil down to the parent rock in two-feet sections (see plan). When the discovery of post-holes,' which will be referred to later, was made, it was decided to cut an additional trench about three feet wide to try to follow their formation. This was done with marked success. Each spadeful was carefully examined by hand, and I should like here to pay a tribute to the dili- gence and keenness of the workmen in this as in every other respect. Finally, the whole of the soil and turf was replaced so that the mound still bears, as near as possible, the same shape and profile as it had previous to excavation. Considerable difficulty was experienced through the disturbances of moles which had thoroughly run the
