I have selected a large specimen for engraving in Fig. 53. It is of grey mottled flint, ground all over to such an extent, that hardly any traces of the original chipping remain. It was found at Botesdale, Suffolk, and was formerly in the collection of Mr. Warren, of Ixworth, but is now in my own. I have another (4 3∕4 inches) from Redgrave, Suffolk, and a third (5 1∕2 inches) from Bottisham Lode, Cambs. One of the same form, found near Stowmarket, is engraved in the _Archæologia_.[371] If the account there given be correct, it was 12 3∕4 inches long. A specimen from Cardiff, now in the British Museum (4 1∕2 inches), has lost a considerable portion of its original length by use, and is ground so that the edge bounds a facet on the face. The sides at the butt-end are somewhat rounded, but near the edge they are flat and 1∕4 inch wide. A fine specimen of this character, formed of ochreous flint (9 inches), found in Swaffham Fen, Cambridgeshire, is in the Christy Collection, as well as one from Mildenhall (5 1∕2 inches), the butt-end of which is sharper than is usual. In the Fitch Collection is a flint celt of this type, 7 1∕2 inches long and 2 1∕2 broad at the edge, which however, has been broken off. It is said to have been found in a tumulus at Swannington, Norfolk, in 1855. In the Northampton Museum is a specimen (6 inches) of ochreous flint, found at Gilsborough, Northamptonshire. The late Mr. James Wyatt, F.G.S., had a beautiful implement of this type, but narrower in proportion to its length, being 7 inches long and only 1 3∕4 wide at the edge, found in the Thames at Coway Stakes, near Egham. I have one (6 inches) from the Thames at Hampton Court. A fine specimen, 9 1∕2 inches long, and 3 wide at the edge, with the sides quite flat, but |111| less than 1∕4 inch wide, of ochreous flint, polished all over, was found at Crudwell, Wilts. [Illustration: Fig. 53.—Botesdale, Suffolk. 1∕2] Others, in flint, have been found at Sutton, Suffolk (8 inches); Wishford, Great Bedwin, Wilts[372] (7 inches); Portsmouth;[373] Cherbury Camp, Pusey, Faringdon[374] (5 1∕2 inches long, edge faceted), and Rampton, Cambridge.[375] I have seen one (5 1∕2 inches) that was found near Loughborough. Mr. G. F. Lawrence has a fine specimen (7 5∕8 inches) from the Lea Marshes. |112| In the National Museum at Edinburgh is one of white flint (10 inches) from Fochabers,[376] Elginshire, and another from the same place (7 1∕4 inches). They are in shape much like Fig. 61. There is another of grey flint, from Skye (7 1∕2 inches). One 5 1∕2 inches long, in the same museum, from Roxburghshire, has the middle part of the faces ground flat, so that the section is a sort of compressed octagon; the edge is nearly straight.
