5 During a field-walking and metal-detecting survey of a roadside settlement in Marton, Lincolnshire (unpublished), a substantial number of examples of Hull’s Type 36 and variants were noted. Subsequently, a very considerable quantity of similar brooches has been recorded from Lincolnshire and the surrounding counties.
