The three bronzes engraved, Plates XIII.—XVI. and exhibited by Mr. Vint to the Society of Antiquaries, Nov. 27, 1845, were discovered in the month of October last, on the line of railway now forming between Colchester and Ipswich, about a mile to the east of the Colchester terminus, and half a mile north of the town. They were dug up at the depth of about five feet from the surface; portions of red pottery, bronze, and lead, were found near them, and, at the distance of about six feet, a human skull and some horses' teeth. The spot presented no indications of having been a place of dwelling or of sepulture, but two or three hundred yards nearer the terminus is a small rising ground, in cutting through which the railway labourers are said to have found urns containing bones
