rivet in the middle. Above the riveted 

 part a round ring for hanging up is 

 fashioned, the metal being there also round 

 in section. These tweezers are in good 

 working order now. 2f in. long over all. 



Dorchester. 



A little ornament, perhaps intended for 

 a flower bud. It is fin. long, and has two 

 rivets for fastening it at the back. Possibly 

 it was an ornament of harness. See Br. 

 233. It is of very irony bronze. 



Dorchester. 



This seems to be a bronze, or rather 

 copper, lamp, crushed entirely out of shape. 

 It contains a dark substance, which seems 

 to be the remains of oil. (With it was 

 found what seems to be a much honey- 

 combed fragment of an early celt, like Br. 3.) 



Fifehead Neville. 



A fragment (lin. long) of a tube about 

 fin. across. At one end it is bent, crushed, 

 and broken off. Across the other end a 

 thin square bit of bronze, in. long, is 

 soldered. Use unknown. 



Fifehead Neville. 



A fragment fin. long, imperfect at both 

 ends. It is boldly curved and concave 

 outwards in section. From a width of 

 fin. at one end it tapers to 3-1 6th inch at 

 the other. Across the wide end there is a 

 sharply-formed semi-circular depression. 

 No explanation of the use of this thing 

 can be offered.
