A fragment of a tanged chisel was found with a large hoard of broad spear-heads, &c., at Broadward, Shropshire. A remarkably small specimen from Thixendale, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, is in the collection of Canon Greenwell, who has kindly allowed me to engrave it as Fig. 195. The stop, instead of being as usual a circular collar, consists of a bead on each face, so that in the side view it appears as if an oval pin traversed the blade. [Illustration: Fig. 196.—Yattendon. ½] [Illustration: Fig. 197.—Broxton. ½] Nearly similar side-stops are to be observed in the chisel represented in Fig. 196, which was found with two others (3¾ inches and 4½ inches) in a hoard of bronze antiquities at Yattendon,[581] Berks, of which I have given an account elsewhere. With the chisels were instruments of the following forms, some in a fragmentary condition: flat celts, palstaves, socketed celts, gouges, socketed and tanged knives, swords, scabbard ends, spear-heads, and flat, conical, and annular pieces of bronze. The other two chisels from this hoard were more like Fig. 194. A very large example of a chisel of this kind is shown in Fig. 197, the original of which was kindly lent me by Sir Philip de M. Grey Egerton, F.R.S. It was found in company with two looped palstaves and a spear-head near Broxton, Cheshire, about twelve miles south of Chester. An instrument of somewhat the same character, from Farley Heath, has already been described at p. 69. A tanged chisel, 5 inches long, and without any stops or collar, was found with other objects at Burgesses’ Meadow, Oxford, in 1830, and is now in the Ashmolean Museum. This form of instrument occurs but rarely in Scotland; but what appears to be a chisel of this kind is engraved by Wilson.[582] His figure is, however, a mere diagram, without any scale attached, and the instrument is described as an axe blade with a cross limb, or as a “spiked axe.” Whatever its character, the original of the figure is said to have been found with other bronze relics at Strachur, Argyleshire. An example of a chisel of elongated form is in the Antiquarian Museum[583] at Edinburgh, but it is uncertain in what part of Scotland it was found. By the kindness of the Council of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland it is shown as Fig. 198. [Illustration: Fig. 198.—Scotland. ½] [Illustration: Fig. 199.—Ireland. ½] In Ireland they are much more common. There are thirteen specimens in the Museum of the Royal Irish Academy, as catalogued by the late Sir William Wilde,[584] varying in length from 2½ to 6¼ inches. Some of these Irish chisels, which approximate to flat celts in character, have already been described in Chapter III. That which Wilde has given as his Fig. 395 is almost identical in form with the chisel from Ireland in my own collection which is here engraved as Fig. 199, though considerably longer altogether, and somewhat longer proportionally in the tang.
