Bronze Socketed Celts Five examples of socketed celts preserved in the museum at Warrington well illustrate the varieties of this class of implement found within the county.

. The Victoria history of the county of Lancaster;. Natural history. Fig. 16.—Bronze Palstave from AsHwoRTH Moor. 3. Bronze Socketed Celts Five examples of socketed celts preserved in the museum at Warrington well illustrate the varieties of this class of implement found within the county. Four of them indeed come from the same site, Winmarleigh near Garstang, in North Lancashire, where two finds, possibly from the same source, dis- closed eight socketed celts with two spears and a dagger of bronze, which constitute by far the most striking deposit of the age. These objects are all preserved in the same museum : they are illustrated by photograph on Plate V., and are described together in connexion with the spears in Section 4. The first sketch, fig. 17, shows the simplest of these celts, without rim or decoration. The imple- ment is hollowed to receive the handle, and is provided with a loop whereby to attach it to the staff. It is 2^ in. in length, if in. across the mouth, and if in. across the edge at its widest point. This celt was found with the dagger and two other celts at Winmarleigh, as described in the next Fig. 17.—Plain Socketed Celt FROM Winmarleigh. 2 ; 3. 1 From MSS. of Mr. W.
