The Tumulus [a] is greatest of all, both in height and diameter, being about twelve feet high, and near twenty yards in diameter.
The Tumulus [b] is little less, either in height or diameter, than the preceding one, and being more insulated, is the most conspicuous of them all, especially when seen from the North.
The Tumulus [c] is lesser in diameter, but nearly equal in height to the two former: it is from this that the cities of Wesel and Xanten were seen to the greatest advantage.
The Tumulus [d] has been cut through the middle to a considerable depth, but is now in part filled up.
The Tumulus [e] has been excavated from the summit, and also in part filled up.
The Tumuli [f] and [g] are of a different form from all the rest, being nearly as represented in the sketch.
The Tumulus [h] is a considerable way on the plain westward of the rest. This and the Tumulus [e] are the only ones that can be seen from the high road; the rest being covered from view by hedges surrounding the fields which lie between them and the road.
[i] is an excavation in the plain apparently not ancient.
[k] is an annular ridge or bourlet of earth about two feet above the plain, but within lower than the plain: the whole covered with heath and pebbles like the rest of the plain.
[l] is a small square ridge of earth, about a foot higher than the plain, and hollow within. It is covered with heath and pebbles like the former; which shew that both are ancient.
[m] the excavation from the inclining plain is here not angular, but round.
