A socketed gouge of unusually long proportions is shown in Fig. 206. It was found at Undley, near Lakenheath, Suffolk, and is in my own collection. In the Carlton Rode hoard were also two long gouges with the hollow extending more nearly to the socket end. They are both rather trumpet-mouthed. One of them is 4½ inches long and 9/16 inch wide at the edge, the other 4⅛ inches long and ¾ inch wide. I have not seen the originals, but describe them from a lithographed plate. The broad short gouge shown in Fig. 207 is also from Carlton Rode. It is broken at the mouth of the socket, but I have, in the figure, restored the part that is wanting. The original was lent me by the trustees of the Norwich Museum. Another[617] from the same hoard, about 3¼ inches long, has the groove, which is wide and rather flat, extending only an inch upwards from the edge. Socketed gouges have been found, though very rarely, in Scotland. That shown in Fig. 208, the cut of which has been kindly lent to me by the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, was dredged up in the river Tay.[618] This appears to be almost the only Scottish specimen at present known. Professor Daniel Wilson[619] terms it “one of the rarest of the implements of bronze hitherto found in Scotland;” but he adds that other specimens have been met with in the Tay. In Ireland they are considerably more abundant, there being at least twenty specimens in the Museum of the Royal Irish Academy, one of them as much as 4½ inches long. One, much like Fig. 208, has been engraved by Wilde as Fig. 399. Others are figured in the _Archæological Journal_[620] and “Horæ Ferales.”[621] In one of these, 2½ inches long, the hollow is carried up to the collar round the mouth as a square-ended recess. One gouge appears to have been originally tanged. Several socketed gouges from Ireland are in the British Museum. Mr. R. Day, F.S.A., has examples from Mullingar and Derry, the latter with a collar at the top. They occurred also in the Dowris hoard. A gouge[622] only 2½ inches long and unusually broad has a small loop at the upper end of the concave part. It is here engraved as Fig. 209, from the original in the Museum of the Royal Irish Academy. This may be the specimen figured by Vallancey.[623] I have a specimen like Fig. 208. /# [Illustration: Fig. 209.—Ireland. ½] #/ Socketed gouges are occasionally found in France. One, 4¼ inches long, with two mouldings round the top, ornamented with faint diagonal lines, was found with socketed celts and other implements in the Commune de Pont-point[624] (Oise), near the river Oise, and is in the Hotel Cluny, Paris. Others from the Hautes Alpes[625] and from the Fonderie de Larnaud have been figured in Mr. Ernest Chantre’s magnificent Album. There are three with moulded tops, from the hoard of Notre Dame d’Or, in the Poitiers Museum.
