Full Description
(C 1800) 2 small implements of war resembling battle axes, but of diminutive size, made of copper and cast in a mould, were found near these works (Combs Farm) in a bed of ashes 2ft beneath the surface. 1 of these, illustrated by Major Rooke, is a bronze socketed and fluted celt. (1)
The whereabouts of these weapons is unknown and one can only hazard a guess at their date. (2)
