504 Notes. 



About 1904 a rude cist or grave covered by the native slabs was ploughed 

 out on the right of the road to Tisbury, near Ham Cross Farm, half-a- 

 mile west of the quarry. There were iron nails (or other remains of 

 iron) from which description I judged it to be Koman, but I did not 

 see it at the time. — C. V. Goddakd. 



Barford St. Silai'till. An iron spear head, llln. long by 2in. broad 

 in the blade, with circular socket not split, and ornamented with two 

 bands of engraved lines, much corroded, was found in the cutting of the 

 road to the farm above the railway at Hurdcott, in 1908. It is now in 

 possession of Mr. A. T. Lowe, of Hinton St. George. — C. V. Goddard. 



Chicklade. The bowl of an early English font, originally in the Church 

 of St. Peter, Pertwood, and probably turned out of the Church at some 

 restoration 60 or 70 years ago, has been carefully repaired and placed 

 upon a proper stem and base at the expense of the Hon. Percy Wyndham.

MallUesbury Abbey. A ISth century Ciborium, 7in. in height, of 

 copper gilt with Champleve enamels of English work, from the Braiken- 

 ridge Collection, said (on what authority does not appear) to have 

 belonged to Malmesbury Abbey, was bought at Christie's on Feb. 27th, 

 1908, by Mr. Durlacher, the well-known dealer, for the great sum of 



BiOman Armlets from Upham. Mr. William Chandler, of 

 Aldbourne, has kindly allowed me to see and describe two bronze Koman 

 armillse in his possession, which with several others (? 13) were found 

 on Upham Down by flint diggers some years ago. Both are fine and 

 perfect specimens and neither has any catch. One is of flat bronze and 

 has a lozenge-shaped ornament with nine circles and dots on each end, 

 with bold transverse ribbing on the back ; the other is of heavier, more 

 solid, make, a simple cable of thick bronze, worn quite flat at the sides 

 by rubbing against other bracelets, and smooth and highly polished by 

 wear on the inside. The diameter of this last is 2, gin., that of the 

 former 2^in. — E. H. Goddard.
