NB. These came into the Ashmolean Museum from James Douglas's collection, and are thought to have been found in 1771 (tumulus 15) however it appears (see Bibliography) that some finds were acquired by Mr Haywood of Ash, who passed some of them to Mr Jacobs of Faversham, from whom Douglas acquired them. It seems they were actually found in 1762, the date of the drawing.
