842 Antiquities presented hy Sir Henry Hoare, Bart. 



Cup of thin reddish ware, of good form, the bottom convex. It 

 is skilfully made, though not on the lathe. Height 3ia. 



Small urn or drinking cup, of Roman period, of light grey ware, 

 the surface coloured black by burning in a smother-kiln. The 

 middle part has six well-defined vertical hollows, the foot and mouth 

 are circular. Height Gin. 



Stone Implements. 



Whetstone of light brown stone, perforated at one end, for sus- 

 pension, length 5^in., width lin. 



Whetstone, perforated at one end, length 4iin., breadth \\\n. 



Flint dagger, 7iin. in length, the handle part squared. The 

 whole weapon is delicately wrought, and of fine shape — evidently 

 Danish. See Montelius ; figs. 45, 57. 



No. 1. Well-formed hammer-axe of diorite. It has distinct 

 traces of having been re-ground on the cutting edge, which is quite 

 sharp. 



No. 2. Fragment of axe-head of dolerite with crystals of de- 

 composed feldspar. In forming this implement no allowance was 

 made for cutting out the hole for the handle, and as this occupies 

 more than half of the entire thickness, it is not surprising that it 

 has been broken. 



No. 3. Fragment of axe-head similar to No. 2, but of finer 

 grained stone. The fragment has been used for a rubber. 



Celt of dense slate. This has been much worn down, having been 

 used both as a hammer and as a rubber. 



Flint celt of flat form, the sides square — ground on the front and 

 back, but not on the sides. Length 5in., thickness ^in. Of Danish 

 type. 



Objects in Bronze. 



Bronze diadem, or frontlet, of early date. Compare with figs. 

 122, 123, Montelius. 



Triangular ornament of bronze, with stud to fasten to dress. 



Two broad and flat pin-heads. 



Two fine wrist-rings with double line of ornamentation.
