ON THE LAKE VILLAGE AT GLASTONBtRY. 4l7 



leligth of object 204 mm. ; wciglit 245-2 grains. On one side of tlie stem is a ring 

 or link, 13-5 mm. ext. diam. ; on the opposite side of the stem is a raised circular 

 ornament, enclosed by a narrow beading. Found in the peat to the S.E. of 

 Mound 83. A similar ' link ' — E 92 — was found in the Village, near the margin of 

 Mound 27 in 1895. 



252. Fibula, incomplete, the head being deficient ; it consists of a continuous 

 piece of wire averaging 2 mm. in diam. The coiled spring, beginning from the bow, 

 makes two twists outwards on one side, and, arching over the back of the coil, 

 completes two twists inwards, continuing to form the pin. S. of Mound 83. 



253. An ovoid lump, apparently of bronze dross, length 45-5 mm. ; max. diam. 

 24-5 mm. Mound 74, 1902. (' Proc. Som. Arch. Soc' vol. xlviii. pt. 2, p. 109.) 



254. Needle, length 68 mm. ; in a good state of preservation, except that it has 

 been slightly bent by a knock from the workman's spade. It has been flattened out 

 near the top to provide sutficient width (4-1 mm.) for the boring of the eye, which 

 is of fusiform outline, 6 by 2 mm. The top of the eye is 7 mm. from the upper end 

 of the needle. N.W. of Mound 74. A similar needle — E 43 — was found in Mound 42, 

 1894. 



255. Rivet-head, diam. 11 mm., height 6'6 mm., with the usual rivet in position. 

 N.W. of Mound 74. 



256. Two fragments of bronze dross. Mound 72. 



257. Small rounded piece of bronze, incomplete, width 11 mm. It appears to 

 have had perforations in two directions. Mound 72. 



258. Small piece of bronze, not worked. Mound 72. 



259. Penannular ring-brooch, composed of wire averaging 1'3 mm. in diam.; 

 int. width of ring 19 mm. The ends terminate in spirals of nearly three turns, the 

 wire gradually tapering towards the end. One of the spiral coils is broken ; width 

 of opening between the spirals 75 mm. Ext. width of brooch at spirals 25 mm. 

 The plain arched pin is in position, length 29-5 mm. Mound 73. Six other ring- 

 brooches of this character have been found in the Village, viz., E 23, 42, 61, 103, 

 161, and 176. 



260. Portion of a rivet-head, rather above the average in size. Mound 73. 



261. Small piece of flattened bronze with a bevelled edge, probably one of the 

 ends of a pair of tweezers. Mound 72. 



262. Harness ornament, complete, but somewhat corroded. It consists of two 

 conjoined discs, each 20'5 mm. in diam. Both discs are bored centrally by holes 

 about 5-5 mm. in diam., converting them into a figure " 8 " design. The discs are 

 concavo-convex in section ; their concave faces may have been filled with enamel ; 

 the convex face is ornamented round the middle of each of the conjoined rings 

 by little circles in relief (diam. 25 mm.) enclosing small depressions — in fact, 

 a dot-and-circle pattern. The discs are not only joined centrally to form an 

 8-shaped design, but the broadest part of the upper and lower halves of the 8 are 

 connected vertically by a bar on either side (of circular section, diam. 3 3 mm.), 

 round which leather strap-ends would be attached. Each bar terminates in flat 

 stops 9 ram. in diam. at the point whore the bars are connected with the 8-shaped 

 centre of the object. Max. height of the ornament 38 mm. ; max. width 36 mm. 

 Mound 73. A harness ornament of somewhat similar character and design was 

 found with other Late-Celtic objects in General Pitt-Rivers's last excavations at Park 

 House Farm, Iwerne, Dorset, 1897. 



263. Piece of much-corroded thin bronze, attached to wood by means of two 

 bronze rivets 25 mm. in diam. Mound 74. 



264. Solid finger-ring, complete, ornamented by a deep continuous groove round 

 the middle. Int. diam. 16 mm. ; width of ring at front 5 mm., tapering to 33 mm. 

 at back ; bi-convex cross-section. Mound 74. 



265. Spiral finger-ring, the coil completing three and a half circles or turns. The 

 wire from which it was made is of flattened oval section, 3 by IS mm. (it tapers, 

 however, towards the ends) ; max. width of ring 12 mm. ; int. diam. 16 mm. 

 Mound 74. Over a dozen similar rings have been found in the Village from time to 

 time, but none more perfect than that under consideration. 



266. Apparently a piece of bronze dross. Mound 74. 



267. Portion of a band of thin bronze plate, width 32 5 mm., with rivet-holes 

 (diam. 2 mm.). Mound 74. 



268. Corroded lump of bronze with charcoal adhering. Mound 75.
