Abstract
It has been suggested that the comparatively numerous finds of gold in Wiltshire barrows are due to their having been, more or less, on the direct route of the traffic in Irish gold and other objects. On Mere Down, north of Gillingham, a skeleton was found in a grave under a small barrow. With it was a beaker of type B, also a flat, tanged copper dagger, a piece of worked bone, and two gold discs of a well-known Irish type. The surviving disc is very thin, and has embossed upon it an irregular cruciform ornament enclosed within a circle, and a row of very small punch-marks round the edge (fig. 1).
