432 holmes: bronze implements, etc., in the west riding. 
called Billing a gold torque was found, registered by Mr. Denny in 
the Leeds Geological and Polytechnic Society's transactions. It went 
to the British Museum. 
In a field at the base of Sandall Castle a beautifully-formed 
wedge bronze celt was dug up about 1855. It measures 4 inch in 
length, has a good cutting edge, is slightly flanged, and is well 
patinated. This with the Woodnook dagger, and the Leeds, Hunslet, 
Churwell, and Beeston finds would extend or widen the line or belt 
from west to east by about three miles at Leeds, and five at Sandall. 
The finds from Hunslet and Beeston appear to be along an ancient 
track. The preceding I believe to be all British, but it is due to 
state that in this belt a considerable number of Roman remains have 
been dug up, to wit, Roman stone altars at Chapeltown Church, and 
at the front of Mr. Kitson's Entrance-hall, Roundhay, 1880-1. A fine 
Roman lamp was picked up by Mr. Maries in the Gorge of Roundhay 
Park, which he sold, and it is lost. A Roman house with good 
tesselated pavement was dug up at Shadwell, on the line of the 
Roman road, (Street lane between Adel and Wetherby), which is now 
in the museum at York, but is not pre-historic. 
In the last thirty years the Rev. Richard Burrell, of Stanley 
Church, near "Wakefield, has obtained a number of flint flakes, 
scrapers, arrows, and other flint implements from the ploughed fields 
of Stanley Ferry. They are found on the hills, the valley being 
evidently a lake in historic periods, in which the finds of a British tree- 
boat, and the finest bronze dagger that I have ever seen were made. 
See description and cuts, p. 39, Remains of Antiquity in Yorkshire, 
Leeds, 1855." 
Mr. Burrell obtained from a gravel hill in Mr. ^'s park, 
Oulton, an undoubted British food vessel frr It is 
pierced at the sides.
