A Survey of the Anglo-Saxon Cruciform Brooches of Florid Type
THIS short study of the English cruciform brooches in the latest and most elaborate phase of their development was left practically completed by E. T. Leeds before his death in 1955. My best thanks are due to Mr. P. D. C. Brown of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, who told me of the existence of the manuscript (now in the Ashmolean Museum) and who suggested that I edit it for publication. Leeds's text is printed substantially as he left it apart from…

I.— The Distribution of the Angles and Saxons Archaeologically Considered
This monograph was originally intended as a study of the various types of so-called small-long brooch and their distribution. It has, however, grown far beyond the limits of a single class, because for purposes of comparison I found myself led on to compile one map after another illustrating the distribution of other of the humbler Anglo-Saxon brooch-types, and also certain aspects of the distribution of better known types and of other objects in…
An Anglo-Saxon Cemetery at Nassington, Northants
In the past, although many discoveries of early Anglo-Saxon cemeteries have been made in Northamptonshire, no detailed record exists of any series of burials larger than the thirty-seven graves explored by Sir Henry Dryden at Marston St. Lawrence at the southwestern end of the county. The following report of the cemetery at Nassington therefore constitutes a most important addition to our knowledge of the archaeology of the period

A Hoard of Gold Rings and Silver Groats found near Thame, Oxfordshire
On 21st April 1940 Willcocks McKenzie, lorry-driver of Thame, while walking along the left bank of the river Thame, about one mile north of the town and a short distance upstream from a pool known as Jemmett's Hole, had his eye attracted by the gleam of metal. This, on investigation, proved to come from the parcel of rings and coins which are the subject of this account

A Gold Ring with Runes from Central Europe
The collection of continental European and Anglo-Saxon jewellery dating from the second half of the first millennium of our era in the Ashmolean Museum, though of no great size, has for many years been noted for its quality, including, as it does, the fine series of ornaments and rings collected by Sir John Evans and presented in 1908 by Sir Arthur Evans, together with such outstanding pieces as the Alfred Jewel and the Minster Lovel jewel. To th…
An Adulterine Castle on Faringdon Clump, Berkshire (Second Report)
Investigation of this site in July 1935, reported in the Antiq. Journ. xvi, 165, was severely limited by time, and, since certain problems still remained unsolved, advantage was taken of the presence of the University Camp for Unemployed at Eynsham in July 1936 to endeavour to clear up some of these problems. For this purpose additional radial trenches were driven at various points of the compass and the ground immediately south of the tower was …
An Adulterine Castle on Faringdon Clump, Berkshire
From the market-place at Faringdon the Oxford road mounts steadily, passing under the north slope of the hill known variously as Faringdon Clump or Faringdon Folly. The hill is a rounded knoll, the summit of which stands 505 ft. O.D. and, besides being a well-known landmark in the Vale of White Horse, commands an extensive prospect in every direction. Like Cumnor Hurst, Shotover, Brill and others, it is one of a series of undenuded caps of Cretac…
An Enamelled Bowl from Baginton, Warwickshire
Even if the number of bronze bowls which constitute one of the brightest spots in the art of our Dark Age had remained at the respectable figure at which it stood a few years ago, British art could still boast of having furnished a most valuable contribution to the art of the period. But when we find added to this number two splendid examples in the space of three years we may well wonder what fresh revelation of the art may still be in store for…
Recent Iron Age Discoveries in Oxfordshire and North Berkshire
An early volume of the Society's Proceedings contains Stephen Stone's record of his archaeological observations in the parish of Stanlake, Oxfordshire, and the immediate neighbourhood. The record as published is of a mixed nature, and at times it is quite difficult to disentangle the various periods to which the subject of his explorations belonged, though through no actual fault of his own, but rather because, at the date at which he wrote, arch…

Rectangular Enclosures of the Bronze Age in the Upper Thames Valley
Any evidence, however slight, that may throw light upon the age or purpose of many of the mysterious lines and enclosures revealed by air-photography cannot fail to be of service to future research. Some time ago Major G. W. Allen brought to my notice more than one instance of a remarkable type of rectangular enclosure in the valley of the Thames below Oxford, the age of which we were reluctant even to surmise in spite of their proximity to or as…
Recent Bronze Age Discoveries in Berkshire and Oxfordshire
Material for a third report on the site of the Saxon village at Sutton Courtenay, Berks., has been gradually accumulating since the second was presented in 1926, but so slowly that it seemed advisable to wait until, as appeared likely to happen in the near future, the limits of the occupied area should have been reached. In the meantime, however, an important addition to our knowledge of the early Bronze Age has been obtained from Cassington, Oxf…

The Early Saxon Penetration of the Upper Thames Area
In 1912, when I undertook a survey of the distribution of the Anglo-Saxon saucer-brooches, I endeavoured to bring that survey into line with the historical records of the period, and thus was compelled to use the campaign of A.D. 571 as the pivot round which the results of my examination of the material must be made to revolve. Certain deductions in regard to distribution of types and decorative motives ensued, but the main result attained was th…

Further Discoveries of the Neolithic and Bronze Ages at Peterborough
In 1910 Mr. G. Wyman Abbott read to this Society a paper in which he gave some account of his discoveries of early British remains at Fengate, Peterborough (see Archaeologia , lxii, 352 ff.). Since that date he has been assiduous in collecting from the same locality such further material as has been brought to light in the process of gravel-digging. This new material already serves to indicate that the site was occupied continuously from Late Neo…

Notes on Early British Pottery
In a brief note, appended to an account of ‘A Burial of the Early Bronze Age discovered at Berden’, Essex, by Messrs. Guy Maynard and G. M. Benton, Mr. A. G. Wright, Curator of the Colchester Museum, raises the question whether the globular-bodied beakers of Lord Abercromby's type A originated in South Britain, and suggests the possibility of approximately contemporaneous landings of the people who introduced the beakers at more than one point on…
VII.— A Saxon Village near Sutton Courtenay, Berkshire
It is not too much to say that our knowledge of the dwellings of the Anglo-Saxons, at any rate of the earlier period, has hitherto been practically a blank. Practically so, because discoveries evidently similar to those to be described and found only a few miles away at Yelford and Standlake, Oxfordshire, were recorded by Stephen Stone as far back as 1857, while more recently and close by at Milton, Berks., sherds have been collected by Professor…
