Poorly Located Find Spot record LKH 517 - Anglo-Saxon artefact scatter of pottery and metalwork, including a buckle and sleeve clasp

`Numerous specimens from Lakenheath in Cambridge Museum of Archaeology' ... no precise record of findspot/s though some at least presumed to be from cemetery. Also see LKH 042. `Beside glass & amber beads were found small bronze cylinders, probably worn as a necklace; a spear-head 12 ins long of unusual form, with unsplit socket, and a vase of Frankish character with rows of stamped patterns round the shoulder. Among numerous brooches should be mentioned a large and elaborate cruciform specimen with enamel round the setting on the bow; a pair of "horned" examples of a type apparently confined to the neighbourhood of the Fens; and two ornate square-headed brooches, one with silver disc attached to the foot, and the other with a garnet-setting in the middle of the head. A triangular bronze-gilt mount ... belongs to a pair of clasps; and a small buckle with three rivets in a row and a garnet-setting on the plate ...' (S1)(S2).
Possibly LKH 041, though note statement that `no pottery or weapons were found' (in circa 1888) at LKH 041. Purchases by Cambridge Museum include: circa 1908, a pair of plain tweezers 1.2 ins (S3); 1911, lower half of finely cast cruciform brooch (S4); a bronze ear-pick and a spiral-headed pin (S5)(R1)(R2). Three square-headed brooches also listed in Leeds (S5)(R3).
