ROMAN MINOR SETTLEMENTS, ETC. 205 



the reign of that Emperor and Severus, which could hardly fail to 

 have been largely represented in the hoard. 



It is probably to this hoard that Mr. Jewitt alludes when he 

 says * " In a barrow near Parwich, upwards of eighty coins of the 

 later emperors were found." As the younger Constantine appears 

 to be the only late emperor alluded to in any of the above 

 accounts, Mr. Jewitt's version must either be incorrect, or he must 

 refer to another discovery. But the question is one which wants 

 solution. 



Miscellaneous Remains. 



The miscellaneous remains found have chiefly occurred in isola- 

 ted barrows. In one of these opened in 1768 in the neighbourhood 

 of Winster, two glass vessels were found, containing some clear 

 but green coloured water, a silver bracelet, some glass beads, and 

 other trinkets t 



In 1788 in a tumulus on Middleton Moor, a sort of bulla of 

 brass, ornamented with a scroll upon a red enamelled ground, and 

 said to be of Roman workmanship, with fragments of other articles 

 were found and preserved by Mr. White Watson of Bakewell.j 



" A bronze fibula of unusual construction was found near the 

 village of Monyash in 1845, the bowed part and the pin are both 

 formed from one piece of metal, and to give to the latter the proper 

 degree of elasticity to enable it to retain its place, it is fancifully 

 twisted at the top.§ 



Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt in the Intellectual Observer (Dec. 1867, 

 pp. 344-5-6), describes also the following articles, some of which 

 are engraved : A fibula from a barrow near Monsal Dale, and 

 another from Elton (besides one from Little Chester), and a very 

 fine pair of silver armillcz, or bracelets, of base silver, found 8 feet 

 below the surface of the ground at Stony Middleton, and much 

 resembling a pair found in a tumulus at Castlethorpe (Bucks.) 

 He also describes a bronze spear head found at Wardlovv, and
