Tarrant Hinlon. 



A double oval buckle like 108 and 117. 

 Across one of the curves it has three lines 

 or notches made with a file, it seems. 



Gallows Hill, Dorchester. 



A buckle like the above, but imperfect. 

 It has a small round projection from the 

 "middle of its remaining curve. 



Stoke Abbot, Bridport. 



A little buckle so like modern ones, that 

 it is hard to believe that it is Roman. Yet 

 it was found with a fibula close by, and 

 with other undoubtedly Roman things. In 

 place of being made to be sewn on to the 

 leather strap itself, it has an attachment of 

 thin brass ri vetted and folded round a 

 bronze bar or pin, to which it seems that 

 the leather strap was fastened. 



Roman Well, Winterborne Kingston. 



Fragment of a disk-shaped ornamental 

 brooch. 



Somerleigh Court, Dorchester. 



121, 122, and 124 buckles like 119 and 

 others of the 8 shape. But 121 is of im- 

 portance, because, unlike all the rest of this 

 construction, it has a pin. This pin is so 

 slightly fastened to the bar by a mere twist, 

 that the idea is suggested that all the other 

 pinless buckles originally had pins, which 

 have became loose and have been lost. 



Somerleigh Court. 



This seems to be a buckle of the same 

 plan, but not cast like the others. It is 



Given by the 



late Earl of
