On Urns and Antiquities of the Cheviot Hills. 291 



and south, a somewhat peculiar bronze spear head was found and 

 presented to Canon Greenwell, in whose collection it is. For 

 an electro of this I am indebted to Dr John Evans, from " Bronze 

 Implements," p. 334, Fig.417; one half the original size. " There 

 is no trace of a rivet-hole in the socket, the end of which, how- 

 ever, is broken, and the two oval orifices in the blade are placed 

 one somewhat below the other" — see Fig-. 13. 



Caldlaw Hope, Comb Fell. 



Thomas Anderson, one of the ITsway Ford shepherds, in cross- 

 ing a peat-rift in a " hag," a quarter of a mile on the west side 

 of Caldlaw Hope, and near Comb Fell, one of the lower Cheviot 

 eminences near the sources of the ITsway and Breamish, came 

 upon a very remarkable association of implements, being a com- 

 bination of those of different eras, a bronze socketed celt, a 

 whet-stone, and the remains of some iron instrument decomposed 

 by moisture from the peat in which it had been' imbedded from a 

 period when the use of bronze and iron weapons met. The sand- 

 stone sharpening stone with the iron attached, first met his eye 

 in the fissure, and then the fractured bronze celt. Mr Blair, 

 F.S.A., South Shields, during his peregrinations in that inclement 

 waste, obtained the articles ; and still more recently, in visiting 

 the hospitable household, and being constrained to remain all 

 the night, I heard the particulars. Mr Blair; presented me with 

 his drawings, which have been transferred by the ever ready- 

 help of Mr J. T. Dixon, Rothbury — see Figs. 14 and 15.
