Some of these sheaths are elaborately ornamented, more especially the
specimens from Hunsbury, Lisnacroghera, and the River Witham. The shape
of the sheaths was evidently derived from a foreign source, as may be
seen by comparing those found in Great Britain with the examples from
Hallstatt and La Tène.
