HILTONPRICE, F.S.A., F.G.S. [WITH PLATE X.] THE excavationof the Roman buildingsat Morton,near Brading, in the Isle of Wight,has up to the presenttime not resultedin any discoveriesof a characterwhich could withpropriety claim any especial recognition,in the proceedingsof the Institute; but as our Journaloccasionally admits archaeologicalcommuni- cations(useful often for purposes of comparison),and moreover already contains descriptionsof researchesamong the tumuli and grave-moundsof this country,it may be well to briefly chronicle the results of an examinationwhich we had the opportunityof makinglast autumn,of some of the well-known barrows on Nunwell and Brading Downs.
