Abstract
A Bronze Age hoard from Portfield Farm, Whalley, Lancashire
J D Blundell
Ian H Longworth

SD 745356. A smith's hoard of two gold ornaments and seven bronzes was found during pipe-laying operations within the hillfort known as Portfield Camp. The bronzes were all damaged or broken, and numbered two single-loop socketed axes, two fragments of tanged (?Thorndon) knife, a fragment of blade, half a socketed gouge and a casting fragment. The gold objects were a penannular tress ring and a variant of a Covesea bracelet. Several parallels with the assemblages from Heathery Burn cave suggest a date not earlier than 7th cent BC for the hoard. The site is on a trans-Pennine route, which would readily account for the Irish (Dowris phase) influence seen in the hoard. The connection between deposition of the hoard and the hillfort can only be conjectural so far, but the association of LBA bronzes with occupation debris at sites like Scarborough and The Breiddin should be borne in mind.

The mosaic pavement found here in 1963 almost certainly depicts Christ, and an exploratory excavation in 1964 revealed its association with a substantial 4th cent building complex, possibly of religious function. Observation as the pavement was lifted suggested that some areas had been laid in prefabricated sections. Pottery and the stylistic evidence of the mosaic suggest a date between AD 315-50, but stratified dating material should be sought beneath the bed of the pavement in the hope of setting Hinton and the related villas of SW Britain in their context. The demand for mosaic pavements in this area could arise from an influx of emigré villa-owners after the mid-3rd cent Germanic invasions of Gaul. Makeshift repairs to the Hinton pavement, and the dwindling coins at Woodyates, reflect the generally disrupted economic situation. Later ploughing reduced the site to its present fragmentary condition. AT
