2| in. in width, and shows evidence of use at the cutting edge. This, 
with two others similar in shape, but rather shorter are in the Leeds 
public collection. ^Ir. Wardell obtained the two latter on the east 
coast, the granite one at Scarborough, and the other bassalt, out of 
Esk Dale, between 1850 and 1856. 
About two miles east from the Shadwell Reformatory, a beautifully 
formed stone celt was turned up in ploughing about 1881-2. It was 
taken possession of by the governor ; when leaving he took it with 
him. It measures about 4 inches in length, was about 2 inches thick, 
had a round smooth cutting edge 2f inches across, and tapered wedge 
shape to the end. Similar forms are figured by Evans in Nos. 51, 52, 
53, 55, and 57, varying in size and thickness. In aline still east about 
a mile and a half from the Reformatory, on the Roundhay Park estate 
of the Leeds Corporation about 1880, a good form of the bronze 
socketed and looped celt was found. Very similar in shape and 
ornament to those figured by Evans, Nos. 134, 166, &c. 
Again, about a mile and a half, while forming the front garden 
to the beautiful villa of Woodburn, belonging to R. Buckton, Esq., in 
1 884, the same gardener who discovered the last, dug up a beautiful 
stone celt, of exactly the same form and type as the one in the 
collection of the governor. It is beautifully and symmetrically formed, 
but at opposite edges about 2^ from cutting edge, and Ih from end, 
it I think shows sign of wedging. It is in the possession of Master 
Buckton to-day. 
In February of 1887, I obtained a stone celt, 4^ in. long, and 
8 oz. in weight, the form, size, and type of the Nos. 18 and 20, bearing 
the following label : — " Early British axe-head found at Potterton, 
near Leeds, volcanic stone from North of Scotland, over a thousand 
years old. (Signed) Charles Richardson." Potterton is a little hamlet 
near toBarwicA-in-Elmete,and is about four miles east from Roundhay, 
in a line with the three preceding finds, and being about a mile east 
of the bronze find upon Bramham Moor, as before said, the whole 
are in a line from Skipton to Ilkley, Adel to Wetherby, and Tadcaster 
and York. In this line, from Yeadon a decayed bronze celt was 
exhibited at a local exhibition at Bradford, 1882. I have heard of 
no other bronze being found west of Yeadon. At Yeadon at a place
