102 Notes on Implements of the Bronze Age found in Wiltslvin 



from unknown localities, which are not improbably Wiltshire 

 examples. 



Of flanged Celts without stop, six are recorded, of which three 

 are at Devizes. Three of these were found in barrows (Nos. 104 

 — 106). ISTos. 105 and 106, here figured, are small and almost flat 



Wilsford Barrow i8 (No. 105). Wilsford Barrow 9 (No. 106), 



with very slight flanges. Nos. 103 and 108, of a somewhat later 

 type, with deep flanges and a semi-circular cutting edge, belonging, 

 probably to Period III, of Montelius, were found on West Lavington 

 Down and near Wootton Bassett. 



Of the Palstaves, which belong to the three last Periods of the 

 Bronze Age, and are not found in the barrows, about twenty-nine 

 have been recorded, nearly equally divided between those with 

 loops and those without. The examples from the downs above 

 Lavington (No. 129) and (No. 123) from Broad Hinton, are good 

 examples of the typical Palstaves with long slots, strong midribs, 

 and loop. Another, much of this type, but with a prominent 

 Y-shaped ornament in front of the stop (No. 134), is from Swindon. 



Palstave from Swindon | (No. 134). 



That from Avebury (No. 109), of a narrow chisel-like type 

 without loop or deep slots^ and No. 112, from Beacon Hill, are 

 probably of an earlier date than the last. Another, of quite a 

 different type (No. 110), probably of a late period, in the Blackmore 

 Museum, is illustrated (Plate VI., Fig. 1).
