In contrast to this morning it's been very quiet so I happened upon this:
http://www.google.co.uk/books/pdf/Archaeologia_Cambrensis.pdf?id=X8A1AAAAMAAJ&output=pdf&sig=XEgLf3N2RmTeIBHF_jrv2eEzWIk
It's page 208 you need - they're the spit of the spoons from the Locksbrook. Ffynogion is at SJ129561 and they seem to say the spoons were south of there - wot is right next to the Avon Clwyd, so a watery connection again.

ooh and googling I now see these, which are from Berwickshire
http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/adsdata/PSAS_2002/pdf/vol_058/58_143_160.pdf
and has diagrams of lots of other ones found - such a geographical spread! but then I guess stone axes travelled a long way too.

yeah yeah this isn't a personal messaging service about 'might be Iron Age' relics. apologies. but if they're really Early iron age, that's pretty interesting and relevant to the website.

Thank you for that Rhiannon, no one seems to have done anything on our spoons, also forgot to say this morning, my 'friend' (don't know who he is except that he lives below the Midridge) on Flickr, has been photographing the demise of Southgate, apparently there are 10 archaeologists from Museum of London there, could be a roman road coming up, which I presume would mean a bridge there to..

Early iron age relics, so are they non-christian spoons, or are they adapted celtic spoons for baptism (only oil goes thro the hole) .... 2 sets by water (not forgetting one in Thames)and two sets in graves, one grave having pig bones in it, so could easily have been pagan burial - or something like Prittlewell pagan/xtian saxon burial. Also pair found in Wales at 'camp' must be I/A.. practical use/ ritual function, either pagan or xtian, or maybe the local druid used them to measure out his potions - the cross in the centre being a measuring device ;) Give up, spoons are extremely useful though...
