objects. On the other hand, the bull has 

 two such holes in each leg. In some of 

 the holes the rusted iron rivets remain. 

 See descriptive label. 



The late Sir A. Franks thought that 

 these things were chariot-fittings, the bulls 

 being for hitching the reins over. But 

 Mr. C. justly considers that they are not 

 strong or large enough for this purpose. 

 Possibly the helmet chin-strap may have 

 been hitched over them.

S. W.R. Station, Dorchester. 



(Classed here doubtfully. Very likely 

 Mediaeval.) 



Three pins. One i^in. long, has a solid 

 head, rather large in proportion. The 

 others, 2^ and i^in. long, have twisted 

 wire heads, like those of modern pins. 



Jordan Hill, Wey mouth. 



A very curious pin, 3fin. long. The 

 pin itself is carefully made with a slightly 

 moulded head. But the remarkable thing 

 is that immediately below the head, there 

 has been fitted on to the shaft what may be 

 called a large bronze bead, ^in. each way, 

 of a truncated pear shape, fluted.
