The harness-mountings are either in the form of a cross or a sort of rosette, with petals like a flower, some pointed and some round. At the back of the mounting are a pair of rectangular loops for passing a strap through. The front is, in many cases, beautifully enamelled. There is an extremely pretty little cruciform mounting of this kind in the British Museum, but unfortunately the locality whence it came is unknown. Two similar specimens have been recorded, one in the Uffizi Museum at Florence,[195] and another from Saham Toney,[196] Norfolk, now in the Norwich Museum. The most elaborately decorated harness-mounting of the rosette type is the one from Polden Hill,[197] Somersetshire, in the British Museum. A large number of objects found in Ireland, resembling a spur or the merry-bone of a chicken in shape, have been conjectured to be horses’ head ornaments.[198] One of them was found near Tara, Co. Meath, with the bridle-bit already mentioned. [195] Kemble’s _Horæ Ferales_, pl. 19, fig. 5. [196] _Norfolk Archæology_, vol. ii., p. 398. [197] Kemble’s _Horæ Ferales_, pl. 19, fig. 3. [198] There are more than thirty-two in the Museum of the Royal Irish Academy (see Wilde’s _Catal._, p. 109). Others have been found in the counties of Roscommon, Sligo, and Cork (see _Proc. R. I. A._, vol. vii., p. 161; Vallancey’s _Coll. de Rebus Hibernicis_, vol. iv., p. 54; and Wood Martin’s _Pagan Ireland_, p. 462). Iron tyres of chariot-wheels have been found at Stanwick, Arras, Beverley, and Danes’ Graves in Yorkshire, and Hunsbury, Northamptonshire; but the bronze objects associated with them, which are believed to be the fittings of the chariots, do not afford sufficiently characteristic decoration to need description here.

The evolution of the Roman Provincial type of fibula from earlier La Tène type can be nowhere better studied than in this country during the transition from the Late-Celtic to the Romano-British period.
