There is an air of beauty about this brachy-cephalic skuU, coincident with its gentUitial
featui-es, that makes it particularly fitting for the representative of the gentler sex among the
ancient British series of this work. Its possessor must have enjoyed a large measure of the
charms of the race to which she belonged, and the bony frame-work of her features shows that
these could not have been mean, although distinct fi-om those more exalted graces idealized in
classical models. The accompaniments of her interment will go far to prove that she was highly
esteemed by hhn she called lord, and honoured, almost beyond custom, when he was caUed upon
to bend under the bereavement which consigned her and her offspring to the silent tomb.
Tliis lonely sepulchre was placed within a quarter of a mile of the circle of Arbor Lowe; probably
a neighbourhood sanctified in the eyes of the British tribes by the uses to which this
enclosure was dedicated, and therefore more fitted for the resting-place of one whose memory was
held so dear.
