Fig. 477, kindly lent by the Council of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, shows another form of armlet, made from a bar of nearly semicircular section, bent into a circular form. The original, together with another of the same kind, were found near Stobo Castle,[1486] Peeblesshire, beneath a flat stone, and lying on a large boulder, under which was a collection of small stones, burnt and with apparently calcined bones among them.

Another armlet (3 inches) of the same type was found with an urn containing burnt bones in a cairn in the parish of Lanark.[1487] A bronze spear-head is stated to have been found with it.
One of the bracelets from the find at Camenz,[1488] in Saxony, is of nearly the same type.
Two circular armlets, one with the ends slightly apart, were found in Dorsetshire, one in the parish of Milton.[1489] I have an imperfect armlet of this kind, found with a palstave, at Winterhay Green, Ilminster, Somerset.
A penannular armlet of bronze, with compressed oval knobs at the extremities, was found by Mr. F. C. Lukis, with a jet armlet, in the cromlech of La Roche qui sonne,[1490] in Guernsey, and is shown in Fig. 478. The scale has been said to be one-third, though from information kindly furnished to me by the Rev. W. C. Lukis, F.S.A., it appears to be one-half.
A somewhat different and more elegantly ornamented armlet from Cornwall[1491] is shown in Fig. 479.
