Notes on a Pair of Celtic Spoons found near Weston, Bath, 

 in 1866. By Rev. Preh. Scaeth, M.A. Read Jan. 12, 1870. 



In the year 1866 two Bronze Spoons, in all probability a pair, 

 were discovered on the bank of a small brook not far from the 

 village of Weston, and about one and a half miles out of Bath on 

 the road to Bristol. They were found while clearing the ground 

 for quaiTying stone to form a new road, and lay near the sti-eam, 

 at the depth of about seven feet, in the ancient hollow course, 

 the earth of which 

 seems to have 

 gradually slipped 

 down the sloping 

 bank, and so to 

 have bui-ied them. 

 They are illustra- 

 ted in the Archceo- 

 logical Journal for 

 March, 1869 (No. 

 101), where will 

 also be found a 

 very elaborate ar- 

 ticle containing 

 drawings and de- 

 scriptions of simi- 

 lar spoons found 

 in other parts of 

 England and Ire- 

 land, by Albert 

 Way,Esq.,F.S.A., 

 and also a learned 

 dissertation on 

 their probable use, 

 by the Very Rev. 

 Canon Rock, D.D.
