“‘they were found about two years ago on the western slope of 
Combe Dingle, on the right of the little Trym ; about half way up 
the slope, which is a very steep one, and about 18 inches from the 
foot of an ivy covered rock, or mass of rock, which juts out from 
the slope. They were buried to the depth of about 4 or 5 inches 
in loose earth which had evidently drifted over them. It is 
possible that the rock had extended further forwards when they 
were originally deposited there and had formed a cave, the 
entrance of which gave way and fell in, with lapse of time, and 
left them outside the rock in the place where they were turned up.” 
The celts are said to be of somewhat the same pattern and 
decoration as one figured by Sir John Evans on page 53, fig. 14, 
“ Ancient Bronze Implements.” This is a highly ornate one. 
They vary in length from 53 inches to 33, and are in good 
preservation ; the smallest one is beautifully decorated. 
Combe Dingle is about two miles to the north of Durdham 
Down, Bristol, and close to the Roman Road, via Julia. It lies 
between but a little to the south of the camps of Kingsweston 
and Blaize, which are about one mile apart. About one mile to 
the south is Sea Mills, where many Roman articles have been 
found. An interesting point arises. Was there an early settle- 
ment at this spot, say of 3,000 years ago? Of course a small find 
does not prove it, but further finds might. T.. S.-
