Fourteen bronze axe-heads of the palstave type were found in an earthen bowl 3 ft. below the surface in Southend Brickfield at a spot approximately 200 ft. from the west corner of the Girls' National School, and 510 ft. from the south-west corner of No. 1, Dodinga. The bowl was broken, and the base and the greater part of the lower part were not recovered; but sufficient of the upper part was saved to give the approximate diameter and enough of the sides to give the profile except at the base. It is hand-made and burnt a dark brown. After restoration in May 1923, it has a diameter at the mouth of 77⁄8 in., and a maximum diameter of 93⁄4 in. The lip is slightly incurved and 11⁄2 in. below it a shallow irregular groove 1⁄2 in. wide encircles the bowl. Below this, 21⁄4 in. from the lip, is a single row of impressed double circles, approximately 1⁄4 in. in diameter and in. apart. Below these a band 3⁄4 in. wide of six horizontal uneven lines, the row of circles being repeated below. The total width of the ornamental band, consisting of two rows of circles and the six lines between, is 15⁄8 in
