of the rim of a similar urn from the collection of the Royal College 



of Science, now in the iSTational 



Museum (fig. 7, outside and inside 



of rim). The locality of this piece 



has not been recorded, but there is 



no doubt that it was found in 



Ireland. We have here the same 



deep sloping inner rim, decorated 



with, a band of lattice ornament. 



It may be compared with the band 



of ornament on the inner side of 



the cups of the gold "fibula" 



(fig. 8). This so-called fibula is 



of massive gold; it weighs 17 ozs. 



10 dwts. It was found with four 



others in the county "Waterford, 



and belongs, in all probability, to 



the early Iron Period in this country. 



1 The corrugation of the inner slope of the rim occurs also in a large urn with 

 raised ornament in the Grainger collection, Belfast.
