Once a Sacred and Secluded Place
Two round barrows were excavated in 1982–3 at Church Lawton near to the eastern edge of the Cheshire and Staffordshire Plain. One of the barrows was defined by a ring of nine glacial boulders and it is possible that these monoliths initially formed a free-standing stone circle. The remains constitute a rare example of the use of stone to enhance a Bronze Age barrow in the lowlands of central western England. Beneath the mound demarcated by the bo…
Bits and Pieces
Large numbers of bracers from Ireland were illustrated and published by Peter Harbison in 1976. In association with the preparation of a similar corpus of the bracer material from England (as part of a Birmingham University Leverhulme project on Early Bronze Age grave goods), 32 Irish bracers housed at the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin, have been re-examined. Consideration of lithology showed that far more of the bracers were made from red j…
Beaker age bracers in England
The authors review the significance of bracers by undertaking a detailed examination of their morphology, fragmentation, manufacture and wear. The results have a number of implications regarding their use and value and this is supported by the use of petrographic and geochemical analyses which suggest discrete patterns of raw material acquisition. A description of the technical methodology and appropriate data tables are available at http://www.a…
The excavation of an Early Bronze Age cemetery at Barns Farm, Dalgety, Fife
As the result of a chance find in February 1973 an Early Bronze Age cemetery of six cists and three graves was excavated at Barns Farm, Dalgety, Fife.Besides the stone cists and the earthen graves a variety of pits and two hearths were found.The cemetery, on the round top of a small hillock, had finally been sealed by a round barrow of scraped up soil.The total assemblage from the cemetery included three Food Vessels, one Beaker, a battle-axe, a …

The Battle-Axe Series in Britain
The literature of the past seventy years relating to battle-axes and axehammers is limited, and relates mainly to the separate publication of individual finds. Sir John Evans, in his classic work, Ancient Stone Implements listed eighty-seven battle-axes from England, Scotland and Wales. R. A. Smith, in 1925, carried out a more detailed survey with emphasis on the associated finds, but drew conclusions about evolution and dating which are untenabl…
