'Early, Middle and Late Bronze Age metalwork' In: Jones, A.M. and Quinnell, H. Revisiting Battlegore: a Bronze Age barrow and its landscape context

Six copper-alloy artefacts were found in the 1860s during draining works on land to the west of the barrow cemetery, one specifically from a plot named Lake’s Meadow. Gray (1908a; 1931) documents their finding and provides illustrations. They are all described and illustrated by Pearce (1983, 540, pl. 94) and her numbers, 782 to 784d, are used below for consistency. Pearce’s descriptions are updated and relevant typochronological information is included. Numbers 784a and 784d were studied as part of PhD research (Knight 2018); they are currently held at the Museum of Somerset, Taunton. Recent enquiries have located number 782 and possibly number 783 at the Community Heritage Access Centre (CHAC) in Yeovil, although these have not been studied first-hand; the authors are grateful to Joseph Lewis for his assistance with this. It was not possible to locate the others.
