    A number of antiquities found in Kirkby Thore, Westmorland, including earthen bowls and vases, sandals and broken, inscribed ceramics. Illustrations to ‘A letter from Mr. Thomas Machel of Kirkbythore in Westmorland tp Sr. W. D. March 25, 1684. Concerning some Antiquities found there’ by Thomas Machel in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, vol. 14, issue 158 (20 April 1684).

    Inscribed: ‘Philosoph. Transact. Number 158.
