1704, within the enclosure, of Figsbuiy Eings, "about 2 miles 



from Sarum." 



Of the sharp-pointed rapier-shaped Daggers with two rivets I 

 have only been able to discover four found in tlie county : — two 

 long weapons 14|in. and 14Jin. in length, found on Wilsford Down 

 •(Plate IV., Fig. I.) and Fisherton Anger, and now preserved in the 

 Devizes and Blackmore Museums respectively (Nos. 96, 97); 

 and two shorter weapons of about lOin. in length, one of which 

 <No. 94) from Teffont Magna (Plate IV., Fig. 2) is at Devizes, 

 and the other (No. 95), from the Marlborough neighbourhood, in the 

 private collection of Mr. J. W. Brooke. 



Dag-g-er (?) in the Stourhead Collection. (No. 9S.) 



The curious swan-bill shaped blade (No. 98), from an unknown 

 locality, probably in Wiltshire, in the Stourhead Collection, at 

 Devizes, has perhaps been formed by rubbing down a fragment of 

 one of these rapier-sliaped Daggers. No other example of this 

 shape seems to l)e known. 



Of the various types of Celts and Palstaves Wiltshire has no 

 very large numl)er to show, compared with the numbers found in 

 many other counties. 



Of the earliest type, the perfectly Hat and plain Celts assigned 

 by Montelius to Period 11.,^ only two seem to have been recorded, 

 one (No. 100), now in the l>lackmore Museum (Plate VL, Fig. 2), 

 and anotlier (No. 101), said to have been found " in the Long Barrow 

 at SLoncluMige." 



Of th(^ next typo, nearly Hat, ])ut tapiMiiiL; cacli way from the 

 thick(Mi(>(l (-(Mitre, with \(My slight, if any, si(lt> tlanges, a tine 

 «'xani))l(^ (No. 1 02), from NDiananton Ihish IJanow. is at Devizes ; 

 und ill the Stourhead Collection there are two small ].laiii Celts 

 without tlanges, measuring 2Jin. and l]iii in length respectively, 

 ' Thr Iri-li cnpiMT Cclt^ of this tyjM' :ire assigned to Period 1.
