Fig. 77 represents another celt, in the Edinburgh Museum, of similar section, but expanding only at the butt-end, which is sharpened, |133| and contracting from the middle towards the broader end, which, as usual, seems to have been the principal cutting end. It is formed of compact greenstone, and was found in Stirlingshire. In general outline, it closely resembles a common Cumberland form, of which, however, the butt is not sharp. Several such were found in Ehenside Tarn,[425] Cumberland, varying in length from 6 to 14 1∕2 inches. One of them was in its original haft. The whole are now in the British Museum. Another celt (10 3∕4 inches), made of a fine volcanic ash, was found in 1873 near Loughrigg Tarn,[426] Westmorland. Two celts of much the same form from Drumour,[427] Glenshee, Forfarshire, in 1870, are mentioned on page 119. Celts with an edge at each end are rare on the Continent, though they are of more frequent occurrence in Ireland. One of this character, found in Dauphiné, France,[428] has been engraved by M. Chantre. Another from Portugal[429] has been described by myself elsewhere. [Illustration: Fig. 78.—Harome. 1∕2] A celt of shorter proportions, but also provided with a cutting edge at each end, is shown in Fig. 78. It is in the Greenwell Collection, and was found at Harome, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, where several stone implements of rare form have been discovered. The material is a hard clay-slate. The tool seems quite as well adapted for being used in the hand without any mounting, as for attachment to a haft. |135| [Illustration: Fig. 79.—Daviot, near Inverness.] Another of these implements, with a cutting edge at either end, is shown in Fig. 79. As will be observed, it is curved longitudinally, so that if attached to a handle, it must have been after the manner of an adze and not of an axe. The sides curve slightly inwards, which would render any attachment to a handle more secure. The material of which it is formed is a dark green porphyry. It was found in a cairn at Daviot,[430] near Inverness, in company with a celt of oval section, and pointed at the butt (9 1∕2 inches); and also with a greenstone pestle (?) (10 1∕4 inches), rounded at each end. This latter was probably formed from a long pebble. They are all preserved in the National Museum at Edinburgh. A curved celt of this character but pointed at the butt-end (14 inches), formed of indurated clay-stone, was found in Shetland.[431] A straighter celt of felstone (13 inches), blunt at the butt-end, was found at Kirklauchline,[432] Wigtownshire.
