Full Description
At the same meeting we acquired (also as a loan) from Mr. Edwin Seward, F.R.I.B.A., of Weymouth, a remarkably pretty Bronze-age rapier. It was found in a fissure of a quarry, which appears to have expanded into a small cavern formed in the Inferior Oolite stratum near Clifton Maybank, Bradford Abbas. The fissure was filled with the yellow sand of the locality, the rapier being 12 feet from the upper surface. (1)
