Extract
The silver Cup (Pl. XVII. fig. 1, 2). and Torques (Pl. XVIII. fig. 1, 2), which, through the kindness of Mr. Walker, were exhibited to the Society at their last meeting, were found on the 12th of February, 1815, at Halton Moor, about five miles from Lancaster, in some newly inclosed land; and were afterwards sold to a silversmith, who resides in that city. When the cup was found, it contained 860 silver pennies, and six pieces of stamped gold; it also contained the Torques, the diameter of which must have been very considerably reduced, by pressure of the two ends, before it could be admitted within the cup.
