In some of the numerous barrows on Broad Down, near Sid- 
mouth, Devon, examined under the superintendence of Mr. P. O. 
Hutchinson, the Rev. R. Kirwan, and others, there have been 
found several interesting implements and other relics of the 
Bronze Age.! They are distinguished by numbers in the list given. 
In grave No. 53, examined by the Rev. R. Kirwan in July, 
1868, was a cup made of Kimmeridge coal. 
In grave No. 61, examined by the Rev. R. Kirwan in 1870, 
were a bronze dagger and a cup of Kimmeridge coal, also a bronze 
spear-head and rivet. 
In grave No, 62, examined by the Rev. R. Kirwan, was a 
socketed bronze celt. 
In grave No. 28 were four broken pieces of bronze. 
In grave No. 78 were said to have been found by labourers in 
Matthew Lee’s time, in 1763, about one hundred bronze palstaves 
—four of these were procured, and are now in the museum at 
Exeter; one in addition to these was obtained subsequently. 
These celts appear to have formed the stock of a bronze founder, 
from their unfinished condition. 
At Worth, Washfield, Devon, were found a sword and two 
leaf-shaped spear-heads.? 
A quantity of spear-heads, mostly barbed and all broken, were - 
met with at Bloody Pool, South Brent, Devon.® 
In 1868, at Plymstock, Devon, there were found sixteen celts, 
a straight chisel, three daggers, and a tanged spear-head. The 
greater number of these were given by the Duke of Bedford to 
the British Museum, the remainder to the Royal Albert Museum 
at Exeter.* 
Six swords, all of the rapier character, with blades varying in 
detail from 12 to 22 inches long, were found at Talaton, Devon.® 
A portion of a bronze dagger and the pommel of a dagger- 
handle of dark amber, set with small pins of gold, were taken
