Full Description

Pre 1934. From River Wissey at Methwold.
Bronze bracelet. Diameter 78/80mm. Decorated. Montelius III?
Information from (S1).

In view of the wrong provenances given to other objects in the Clouston Collection (see NHER 2539 and 2538) this provenance should be treated with suspicion.
A. Lawson (NAU), 15 February 1982.

Note also that the rapier NCM 585.962 ex Ipswich 1934.76.49 ex Clouston, labelled Methwold and entered in (S2) is in fact a plaster cast of Devizes Museum 1105 from Wilsford Down, Wiltshire.
Information from [1].
