204 
in length by nearly 2 inches in breadth at the broadest end, and 
shows a distinct attempt at ornamentation, having a grooved line 
along each margin, with two groups of small circular dots on each 
side. Next in importance is the half of a Fibula, about 2 inches. 
in length, which is almost a duplicate of one recently found at. 
Silchester, a drawing of which appeared in the Illustrated London 
News, of 17th June, 1899. 
The third article is supposed to have been an ear pick or some 
small implement of that kind, but this is rather a matter of 
conjecture. 
Iron Implements:—Numerous specimens of iron implements 
have been met with, most of them having the appearance of nails. 
or parts of nails, but the purposes for which some of the smaller 
articles may have been used, it is really impossible to say. 
Iron Ore :—In connection with these iron implements it may be: 
mentioned that here as at the Tyning Quarry nodules of iron ore 
have been found, which present a meteoric appearance, but may 
be only ordinary haematite, and what purpose they served in the 
present instance, whether for the manufacture of iron, or in 
coloring some of the pottery it is impossible to say. 
Glass -—Numerous small pieces of Glass have been met with 
which present an appearance of great antiquity. 
Pottery :-—This has been found in great abundance, partly in. 
the surface soil and especially in the refuse pit, but unfortunately 
most of it is in a very fragmentary condition. 
A general examination of these fragments will show that they 
contain examples of a great many distinct varieties of pottery, as. 
well as a large number of vessels of every size and form. 
Conspicuous amongst them is the Samian Ware with its glossy 
deep red coloring, resembling red sealing wax, which stands out. 
from all the rest, several complete or almost complete vessels. 
having been reconstructed, the component parts of which were 
distributed in a heterogenious manner throughout the covering of 
soil and in the refuse pit.
