six feet [deep] in a bog, Letterkemiy, ami the third, near Letterkenny, six feet 

 [deep] in a bog. All three are covered with a greenish patina, and show the 

 efifects of a similar corrosion. They are quite flat without any trace of 

 a stop-ridge. There can be little doubt that they belong to the same find. 

 (Plate XLYII, 1, 2, and 3.) This completes the associated finds of flat celts. 



The next type to be considered are celts with side flanges. Of such celts 

 only one associated find is known to the writer ; it was obtained in a bog at 

 Doagh Glebe, about four nules south-west of Derrygonnelly, Co. Fermanagh, 

 and consisted of two celts. One is a fiauged celt without a stop-ridge ; the 

 other is a flanged celt with a stop-ridge. (Plate XLVII, 4 and 5.) This 

 interesting find was obtained by the Academy in 1913 through the good 

 offices of Mr. Thomas Plunkett, m.e.i.a. 



The next associated find in typological order is that of two winged celts 

 found together at Killamonagh, Co. Sligo. They were discovered in 1896, 

 five feet below the surface of a bog. Both are of the same type. (Plate 

 XLTII, 6 and 7.) 



"We now come to finds of associated celts belonging to the socketed 

 type. At Mountrivers, Eylane, Coachford, Co. Cork, two bronze socketed 

 celts were found together with two gold fibulae and one of bronze, also a 

 number of amber beads. This find, which was discovered in May, 1907, has 

 been described and illustrated in the Academy's Proceedings.' 



At Lahardown, Tulla, Co. Clare, two small socketed celts, a disc-headed 

 pin, a plain bronze ring, and a bronze fibula, were found together in a bog 

 on May 25th, 1861.' 



About the year 1821 a large hoard which contained thirty-one socketed 

 celts and numerous other objects of late Bronze- Age date, such as socketed 

 gouges, leaf-shaped spear heads, trumpets, itc, was found at Dowris near 

 Parsonstown, King's Co.' 



Two looped socketed celts were found together, some years previous to 

 1901, five feet below the surface at Calvei-stown, Co. Westmeath.* They are 

 stated to have been hafted when found. The Eev. Sterling de Courcy 

 WUliams, who described the finding of these celts, writes: — "Another 

 interesting fact is that they were both found together, and yet they are 

 both quite difierent types of instrument." This statement (as can be seen 

 by referring to the illustration of the celts) is not quite correct. They belong 

 to the same socketed type, though they are different in shape.
