A spear-head of the same form (15½ inches) from Ireland[1267] has the ridge decorated with lines of dots, and the socket with bands and a chevron pattern. A plain specimen, no less than 26¾ inches long, found at Maghera, Co. Londonderry,[1268] has been figured by Wilde. In others the midrib is conical, and the blade nearly flat, or with only a shallow channel along the sides of the midrib. One such from the find at Nettleham, Lincolnshire,[1269] now in the British Museum, is, by the kindness of Mr. Franks, shown in Fig. 410. I have one nearly similar (9½ inches) from Edmonton Marsh. One (7½ inches) from the Thames at Lambeth is in the British Museum, as are others from the same river varying in length from 9 to 15¾ inches. One from Speen, Berks[1270] (7 inches), is of the same character, as is one (8¼ inches) from Crawford, Lanarkshire.[1271] Another (9 inches) from Horsey, near Peterborough, Hunts, has been engraved by Artis.[1272] Another (10½ inches) from the Severn at Kempsey, Worcestershire,[1273] appears to have been of this type. I have seen others from the Cambridge Fens. One (5½ inches) from Edington Burtle, Somerset, is in the Taunton Museum. [Illustration: Fig. 411.—Knockans. ½] A spear-head of this character (10½ inches), with the faces of the loops lozenge-shaped, was found with two looped palstaves and a chisel (Fig. 197) at Broxton, about twelve miles south of Chester. It is now in the collection of Sir P. de M. G. Egerton, Bart., who has kindly shown it to me. Spear-heads of this character are occasionally found in Scotland. Two from Wigtonshire[1274] have been figured. The form is common in Ireland. I have one 12 inches long from one of the northern counties. A spear-head (6½ inches) with small projecting loops at each side of the blade was found near Hawick, Roxburghshire.[1275] In Fig. 411 is shown a remarkably fine spear-head in the collection of Canon Greenwell, F.R.S., which exhibits the peculiarity of having the loops formed by the prolongation of small ribs on each side of the midrib, and of having, in addition, a rivet-hole through the socket. It was found at Knockans, Co. Antrim. An Irish spear-head (14¾ inches) with loops at the lower end of the blade, and the socket pierced for a rivet, was exhibited to the Archæological Institute in 1856.[1276] The fourth class of spear-heads, those with openings in the blade, may again be subdivided into those in which the openings appear to have served as loops for attaching the blade to the shaft, and those in which these apertures seem to have been mainly intended for ornament, or possibly for diminishing weight. Of the former kind appear to be those which have merely two small slits in the lower part of the blade, such as would seem adapted for the insertion of a cord. These holes are usually protected by projections rising from the blade on the outer side of the holes. [Illustration: Fig. 412.—Lurgan. ¼]
