Full Description
1849.
'Swine's Snout Hill' (not marked Ordnance Survey map) 'ancient bronze dagger found' [1].
The tithe map of 1842 lists no such name; this is surprising as each field is named in the Award, and even the barren untithed hills in the northeast of the parish have their names written on the map.
None is similar to this.
E. Rose (NAU) 21 July 1986.
