The objects are dispersed across several locations, and the rapier and socketed axeheads are now seemingly lost.","Jago 1814, 337-8; Evans 1881, 116, 184; Cornish 1906, 355, pl.; Hencken 1932, 89, fig.24D; Fox 1952, 244-5; Rowlands 1976, 214, 300, no.451; Pearce 1983, 417, no.94, pl.11; Penhallurick 1986, 203-4, figs 109, 110; Maraszek 2006, 396; Knight 2014a, 43, 83, no.8; Cornwall HER 22033; Pastscape 429249.","The findspot is in the Vale of Mawgan or Lanherne, next to the River Menalhyl.
This hoard potentially represents a multi-period assemblage, but there are a lot of frustrating details. No images now survive of the axeheads ? Jago indicates they were being acquired by nuns ? but Pearce suggests they may have been Taunton-Penard tools. Rowlands? suggests the rapier significantly predates the rest of the hoards, and the palstave is also of an earlier form, while the saw and socketed tools/axeheads would post-date the rapier and palstave (see Knight 2014a for full discussion)."

14,ASH-F014/WESTM-F004,Worlebury Hill,Weston-super-Mare,Somerset,ST 314 625,92,Scatter,Dryland,"A ribbon twisted torc, incomplete socketed spearhead, spearhead tip fragment, socketed axehead and casting waste were recovered from Worlebury Hill. Worlebury Hill has produced Neolithic material, barbed and tanged arrowheads, BA pottery, and is the site of an Iron Age hillfort at the western end. The material comes from a variety of locations and so cannot be said to be truly associated. 
The incomplete socketed spearhead is from the central part of the hill, while the spearhead tip and socketed axehead are simply from ?hill top?. 
The ribbon torc is illustrated associated with the other material, but is not referred to in the accompanying text (Warre 1852, 9-10).","Warre 1852, 9-10; Lawson 1976; Pearce 1983, 538-9, no.776, pl.93; Knight et al. 2015, 71, no.447; Museum records.","Pearce lists a palstave and ring as having been found in the NE area of the hill, but Somerset museum records refer to an Acton Park palstave and ?harness? ring having been found with a piece of haematite while digging foundations at 6 Worlebury Close (ST 3350 6305). For this reason, these have not been included here.
A penannular collar was acquired from an antique dealer said to have been found at Worlebury Hill, but this is now known to not be true (Knight et al. 2015, no.447).
The grid reference is centred on Worlebury Iron Age Camp, which is on the coast of the Bristol Channel, overlooking Birnbeck Island.
The site is incorrectly recorded by Knight et al. (2015, no.447) as ?Wortlebury Hill?."

J. Skinner as ?Limekiln Barrow? (or Priddy 20b), but there is some confusion over which barrow this actually refers to. Two barrows sit close together (c.120m apart) and the Somerset HER records suggests it could be either of these. Nothing remains of one of these barrows (HER 23979), which was reported in 1928, though the grid reference (ST 5189 5131) corresponds with Pearce?s record. The other barrow (HER 23978) is a bowl barrow about 45 feet in diameter and 5 feet high. A scraper and a fragment of polished flint axehead were recovered from this second barrow in January 1970.

The barrow (Wallmead I/Timsbury G.1) was excavated in 1818 and again in 1964-65. It was 67 feet in diameter and originally reported as nearly six feet high. The first excavation recovered the bronze artefacts from a collapsed cist (3 ? feet square) near the centre. The dagger was found on a flat stone at the bottom of the cist. The stone walls of the cist continued for fifteen feet forming a passage in which pottery fragments were found, some of which were Roman. Two 2nd/3rd century Roman coins were also recovered, along with pottery, from a probable secondary inhumation outside of the cist.

This is in part due to the spearhead possessing two different numbers within Dorchester Museum ? one of which is an accession number (1923.3.1) and the other being a catalogue number (no.316). Furthermore, an account of the discovery appears to have simplified from that given by Buckman above, to simply discovery ?during construction of the Verne citadel?, which was associated with Roman material (NBII). This has led to the misconception that two spearheads were recovered, furthered by Pearce?s (1983) inadvertent duplication of the spearhead under two separate entries, with both of these contexts given separately (nos 432d and 436). Her no.432d is not illustrated and is simply described as a ?Middle Bronze Age spearhead?, which explains how the duplication occurred. In her entry, this spearhead is apparently associated with three rings (not seen ? two at Salisbury and one at Dorchester), which could conceivably be the associated Roman material (see Buckman 1868, 53).
Additionally, Davis (2012, 157) records the spearhead as having been found in 1970, which appears to be a typo from the NBII record, which records it as 1870, but the spearhead must have been found pre-1868.

There are differing records over how many axeheads and gouges were found together but there are definitely seven axeheads and five gouges in Dorchester County Museum, though split across two different reference numbers, one referring to 1933 and the other referring to 1952. This probably indicates that the hoard was acquired in two batches. The objects do, however, appear to all belong together as axeheads accessioned in different years come from the same moulds.

There is some difficulty in cross-analysing different sources, particularly with the ingots. Many of the weights recorded in the unpublished treasure report (Roberts 2010) do not match those presented by Young (2015) in his metallurgical analyses. Part of the reason for this might be due to cleaning/conservation processes, as well as the removal of sections of the pieces for metallurgical analyses. This is compounded by the confusing object numbers, some of which appear to have been changed or duplicated at some point. As such, the object numbers and dimensions and weights are recorded based on my personal observations.
Metallurgical analysis has been conducted on the ingot pieces finding that out of the 25 studied, 24 were shown to be pure copper, while the one was leaded tin-bronze.

Some pottery also survives from the barrow.","Kirwan 1868, 647-8, pl.9; 1870, 300, pl.5, fig.3; Way 1869, 341f. fig.1; Hutchinson in Worth 1880, 140-4; Evans 1881, 81; Burnard 1906, 364, 365, fig.19(4); Rowlands 1976, 230, no.24, pl.9; Pearce 1983, 438-9, no.217, pls 27, 28; Jones & Quinnell 2008, 41-2, 43, table 1; Boughton 2015, 50, no.208; Pastscape 188730; 449287.","?In 1861 Hutchinson says that barrow originally comprised a heap of flints covered with 4 ft. or more of earth giving a diameter of 70 ft.

There are no surface remains of the barrow, especially since the area has been under plough, but Pastscape were able to use Tithe maps to locate the location of the barrow described by Hutchinson. Furthermore, a record of the findspot was made in a diary by General Matthew Lee of Ebford in 1768, which is worth including here:
?The laborers on mouth. The precise spot is to the west the new Turnpike to procure stones on Lovehayne farm, Colyton par., belonging Colyton poor, found about 100 Roman chisels for cutting stone, of a metal between a copper and a brass color, rough as they came from the mould and unhardened. I procured four of them? (Way 1869, 341).
An approximate findspot can thus be established. From this spot, Broad Down is visible to the north-west and the hill overlooks tributaries of River Coly to the north and south. There are numerous natural springs in the area, one of which is less than half a kilometre to the east on the same hill."

215,RAMM-F032,New Quarry,Chagford,Devon,SX 70 87,-,Multiple Single Finds,Uncertain,"The records are confused, but it appears at least one palstave was found at New Quarry, near Quintatown. A note attached to RAMM-F032b states: ?Found near New Quarry, Quintertown, Chagford, Devon, by W. Howe of Bath, 4th June 1868?. This is corroborated by Evans. The second palstave (F032a), however, does not feature in the literature, but was apparently accessioned at the same time. Museum records state that both these palstaves were bequest by W. Ormerod in 1891. Both Pearce and Pastscape present the same essential information, but the Pastscape records link the palstaves with conflicting accession numbers. In total, three additional palstaves supposedly come from the area, but see Additional Notes.","Evans 1881, 82; Rowlands 1976, 301, nos 464, 465; Pearce 1983, 436, nos 203 and 204, pls 26, 131; Museum records; Pastscape 445544; 445455.","There is confusion surrounding this general find area; it seems this is largely due to the extensive quarrying, as well as poor general recording. Pearce (1983) lists at least four palstaves from the Quintatown quarries (incorrectly recorded as ?Quintertown?), split into two separate find records (nos 203 and 204). 
On Pastscape, two separate records (nos 445544 and 445455) have also been created to cover the palstaves. These records, however, present information that conflict with Pearce?s contexts, particularly in terms of museum accession numbers. Additionally, on Pastscape a fifth palstave is considered to have possibly been part of one of the hoards (Pearce?s no.208). 
Pearce gives all three findspots different grid references, but while one appears to centre on a quarry (SX 700 868), another centres on Quintatown itself (SX 703 864), making me suspect that the exact findspots are not known. 
Consequently, only the two palstaves available at the time of research have been recorded here. One of the palstaves recorded by Pearce is now lost (RAMM no. A6464) and the two others (RAMM 45/1955/1 and A6465) were not available. Furthermore, the grid reference has been reduced to four figures, to limit further findspot confusion.

The farmer cut into several of the barrows in c.1840 and found more bone fragments, a stone implement, and a bronze implement, though details of this are uncertain. However, the discovery of the imported dagger appears to have gone undocumented. Childe (1951) presents the dagger as having come from a barrow in Five Burrows field, citing its discovery pre-1845. MacNamara (1973) has assessed the strength of a Pelynt provenance by looking at original correspondences and attempting to decipher the nomenclature used in the nineteenth century, concluding that although there is no original document stating this object came from Pelynt, there is no reason to assume it did not. It seems likely that at the very least, the dagger came from the Pelynt parish, if not from one of the ten barrows in Five Barrow field.

The two bracelets were linked together with no sign of a container. An investigation of the section noted a possible ditch one metre to the south of the bracelet find, and two occupation layers about 0.7m to the north; it is probable that the bracelets were originally part of one of these features. While investigating this section, several pieces of pottery, bone and shell were found and a rim sherd was found to be associated with the bracelets. This rim sherd shared compositional properties with other material from Unit 4 (the Late Bronze Age occupation layer), meaning it is possible the gold bracelets were deposited during occupation of the settlement. The block of sand in which the bracelets were found was removed and under further investigation a gold fragment was also recovered.","Crabtree 1984; Hook & Needham 1989, 22, 23; Bell 1990, 6; Needham 1990a; Knight et al. 2015, 62-3, no.361, pl.12.","Brean Down is a multi-period site of Beaker activity, Bronze Age settlement, an Iron Age hill fort and a Romano-British temple/cemetery.

The spearhead, axehead and gouge are considered to have been found ?in an interment? (PSANHS 1886a, 81). However, many of the objects discovered were found while digging ?the rubbish heaps that have accumulated during the ancient quarrying process? (PSANHS 1886b, 47), making it difficult to definitely attribute associations. 
Gray (1902b, 30) describes the socketed axehead to have belonged to Mr I.W. Turner along with a palstave which was ?said to have been found with a human skeleton?. No details of the palstave are given. It appears that a variety of records have become confused so the associations with an interment are now muddled.
One additional item is included here, though its exact context is uncertain. A socketed axehead fragment (F021d) is grouped with this assemblage by Pearce (1983, no.748), but no reference is made to the fragment in the original report and Gray (1902b, 30) lists the piece only as part of the Walter Collection at Taunton.","PSANHS 1886a; 1886b, pl.1, fig.9; Gray 1902b, 30-1; Burgess 1976, 89, no.20; Pearce 1983, 531-2, no.748, pl.89; Boughton 2015, 135, no.965; Davis 2015, 132, no.876.","Ham Hill is a large Iron Age hillfort where numerous other pieces of metalwork were also recovered (see TTNCM-F020).

However, the Pastscape record accords with the grid reference and offers the parish as High Ham, which is nearby.
Alternatively, when the object was acquired by the museum, the reference stated that the palstave was found ?while rhine-digging about two miles south of Somerton?

349,TTNCM-F031,South Cadbury (Milsoms Corner),South Cadbury,Somerset,ST 624 250,78,Occupational,Dryland,"A bronze shield was discovered during excavations of a Middle to Late Bronze Age enclosure at Milsoms Corner on the western slopes of Cadbury Castle hillfort (see TTNCM F007). The shield was found at the junction of two ditches forming the south and east boundaries, in the uppermost (ie, the latest) of three phases of the ditch construction. Immediately below the shield was a stakehole into which the central boss of the shield was set. Within this stakehole, and in contact with the shield rim, was a red deer or cattle hip bone.","Coles et al. 1999; Tabor 2000; 2008; Needham et al. 2012; Uckelmann 2012; Knight 2014a, 53-5, 63-4, 76, no.1, fig.22.","This was the most elaborate deposit made in or around these ditches, but other contemporary deposits included numerous cattle bones (largely mandibles) and pits/holes filled with burnt stone. Yetholm shields were typically produced and in circulation during the Penard period, and the composition and manufacture of this shield is indicative of this period. However, the bone in contact with the shield produced a radiocarbon date of 1056-843 cal. BC 1?, suggesting a much later deposit.
During construction of the Middle Bronze Age ditch, an Early Bronze Age Beaker coffin burial with a fully flexed inhumation was disturbed through its lower half, removing its legs. A human lower leg bone, probably belonging to this burial, was found in a small pit within the ditch, one metre west of the shield. This pit was deliberately filled with layered stones, as well as the leg bone, and has been linked to the stakehole that the shield was set into.
The position of Milsoms Corner on the western slopes of Cadbury Castle (see TTNCM F007) indicates the prolonged occupation of this area from as early as the Beaker period, through to the Romano-British period.
The shield was seen but was too fragile to handle. Measurements are as recorded by Coles et al. (1999, 39-44)."

381,WEL-F003/PRIV-F052/PAS-F217,Horrington Hill,Wells,Somerset,ST 5801 4788,235,Hoard?,Dryland,"Five spearheads of similar types were found on Horrington Hill on four separate occasions. The proximity of these spearheads to each other, as well as their similar typological natures, suggests they may have been a hoard.
Two spearheads (F003a/F003d) were found on the southern slopes of Horrington Hill in October 1973, below the hill summit on a rough track running westward from behind Worthy Cottage. They were found in the bank of the track about two feet below the surface by a schoolboy (George Phelps). One spearhead was accessioned into the Wells and Mendip Museum collections (F003a), but the other (F003d) seems to have been retained by the finder. 
In 1976, fragments of a third spearhead (F003e) were found nearby by another schoolboy (David Carter) who presented the find to Wells and Mendip Museum.
The lower blade and socket of a fourth spearhead (F003b.2) similar to one found in 1973 was found while metal-detecting in the 1990s and was presented to the Wells and Mendip Museum. The refitting tip (F003b.1) was later found in 2009.
In 1998, a spearhead socket (PAS-F217) was found while metal-detecting and was recorded through the PAS. 
A palstave (F003c) was also found at Horrington Hill in 1998, possibly with F003b.2, due to the same accession numbers, though this is uncertain. The patina of the palstave is different.","Cook 1973; Aston 1977, 110; ; Pearce 1983, 524-525, no.719, pl.83; Davis 2006, 153, nos 210-2, pls 4, 11, 56; Davis 2012, 115, 120-1, 129, 130, 132, nos 696, 698, 710, 795, 796, pls 39, 41, 51; Knight et al. 2015, 65, no.386, pl.12; PAS CORN?3367F7; Pastscape 196989.","Only one of the two original spearheads, and the refitting spearhead pieces were available to study.
