and is not easy to understand. A delicate 

 fillet, dying away to nothing, adorns the 

 top surface of the main bar, and there are 

 fillets where that bar and the cross bar

North Square, Dorchester. 



A roughly cast but remarkable fibula. 

 It is like 130 in its somewhat cross-shaped 

 upper end and in its semi-circular curve. 

 But below this it is different. Of the 

 remaining iin. of its length, fin. is 

 thickened downwards so as to be of square 

 section. On one side of this is a narrow 

 slot, deep and widening within into a 

 tubular form. This was the catch. The 

 pin is gone. This fibula is a good deal 

 ornamented, the cross ends being moulded, 

 and the rest of the fibula having cross lines. 



Found in the Surface Drainage Work, 

 Dorchester, 1883. 



133 is a very curious fibula, at present 

 only i fins. long. It may be described as 

 a narrow plain oblong, formed at each end 

 into a thin blunt wide point. One point is 

 imperfect and to it the catch must have 

 been attached. The pin, hinged to a 

 projection below the other point, has lost 

 its small end. The oblong has a hollow 

 upper surface, as if to hold enamel. 1 34. 

 Quite perfect. At the upper end there is 

 a plain cross bar. The curved main bar 

 widens out to give room for a diamond- 

 shaped bezil, which has probably been filled
