(No. 252.) Awl in bone handle. VVinteibouine Stoke Bar. 16. — 



another (No. 252), from a barrow at Winterbourne Stoke, is in a 

 well-made handle of bono {fi[j.). 



Of the Awls or Eimers of stouter make and of square section 

 (Nos. 254 — 257), tapering from the centre towards each end, four 

 are known, all of which are broken (Plate V., Figs. 3, 4). Another 

 (No. 257), 2|in. long, round, but with a square tang, is in Mr. 

 Brooke's Collection. Another large stout implement (No. 259) is 

 round, with a flat tang. 



(No. 259.) Round flat tang-ed Awl. From Barrow at Lake. ^ 



Two examples at Devizes, one of them from a barrow at 

 Scratchbury (No. 260) and the second from an unknown locality 

 probably in Wiltshire, are twisted like a screw, and it has been 

 suggested that they may have served as Gimlets. Possibly designed 

 — as Dr. Thurnam suggests — for this purpose also, are certain Pins 

 with a T-shaped or " crutched " head, and a spiral screw on the 

 stem. Of these two have occurred in barrows (No. 261, 262) at 

 Silk Hill and on Overton Hill. The former is here figured. A 

 fact, however, which rather militates against the idea that these 

 implements are borers is that two pins of exactly similar fashion, 

 except that the stems are plain and not twisted, are also preserved
