page 403 note 1 Type E, a good specimen (like an unpublished Segontium one) from the Rath of the Synods, Tara, soon to be published by Mr. S. Caulfield; Type F, Kilbride-Jones, loc. cit., 404, fig. 5; 406, fig. 6.

page 403 note 2 The supposed associations of a Type F brooch with a second-century trulleus and buckle at Long-faugh, Forth, may well be doubtful, as most commentators claim; but the Porth Dafarch, Holyhead, specimen (Kilbride-Jones, ibid., 446, fig. 26, 82) has more interesting associations than some have thought, though not second-century: see W. O Stanley, Arch. Journ. xxxiii (1876), 131 and the following illustrations of pottery, including not only samian of Antonine date but a black-burnished ware flanged dish of the full third century. The coarser of the two furrowed brooch-hoop fragments illustrated much resembles that of the brooch from the interior of a wall of Kingsweston villa, erected c. 270–300, Boon, Trans. Bristol & Glos. Arch. Soc. lxxxvi (1967), 195–6. The other appears to be part of a Type E brooch, but the terminal is not clear in the cut.

page 403 note 3 Kilbride-Jones, loc. cit., 404, fig. 5. 16. The same design occurs on the back of another F brooch from the Ferwerd terp in Friesland (see E. Fowler, loc. cit., 102, fig.3, 2), supposed to come from a level of the sixth to seventh century. The closest parallel to the pin, however, is the silver example from Halton Chesters Roman fort, much better made; D. Smith, Arch. Ael. ser. 4, xxxviii (1960), 231, pl. 11,1.

page 404 note 3 An alternative explanation associates the pins with the arrival of the Deisi in south-west Wales. This event used to be dated c. 270, which would have suited our dating of the Margam pins; but, as Alcock has shown (Alcock, L., Arthur’s Britain (1971), pp. 123–4Google Scholar), such a date is far too early, and the end of the fourth century much more likely. It would also have to be supposed that the Deisian vessel concerned was driven far off course, to the east rather than the west side of Gower, in fact.

page 412 note 6 Although called ‘combs’ they more nearly resemble brushes, with several rows of long iron ‘bristles’. No doubt this explains their alternative name of hackles. There seems to be no difference between combs for wool and for flax. P. D. C. Brown has made this suggestion for iron points found in Saxon levels at Shakenoak; Brodribb, A. C.

page 413 note 3 A history of the ancient chapel of Birch in Manchester Parish’ in Chetham Society, xlvii (1859), 50; ‘Here too has found a resting place the general’s sword. Its blade is of bluish steel, straight and of considerable length. It is inlaid with gold and inscribed on either side with maxims, religious and moral: “Vincere aut mori”; “Si Deus pro nobis quis contra nos ?” Then follows the date 1652, and beneath the date a trooper on horseback. This again is followed by the words “Achilles Graecus” and below these words is a delineation of Achilles himself. The other side of the blade is similarly inscribed: “Fide sed cui vide”; “Regere seipsum summa sapientia”; trooper on horseback; the words “Anibal Cartagus” followed by a portraiture of Hannibal’. The sword was purchased for the Armouries from Howard Ricketts Ltd., of Bond Street, when it was stated to have come from the collection of Wing-Commander Carill-Worsley.

page 413 note 4 Details of Worsley’s career may be found in Booker, op. cit. and also D.N.B.

page 414 note 4 Illustrated in Laking, G. F., Record of European Arms and Armour, v (London, 1922Google Scholar), fig. 1500. I have been unable to trace the present whereabouts of this sword. The Martin Harvey collection was sold by Hampton and Son on 18–19 July 1938 and Lot 466 may have been this sword, but the catalogue description is unclear and inaccurate.
