1933.625 A ('wrist clasps, etc.) were excavated in the garden of the [Dr R. Lachlan]'s house, 24 Barton Road, Cambridge by Thomas C. Lethbridge in 1932. 1933.625 B (sherds and two spearheads) were subsequently added to this group in the accession register at an unknown date, and were listed as being excavated next door at 22 Barton Road. Whether this was part of the 1932 excavation, which may well have spanned two properties, or this was is one of the subsequent finds (see Lethbridge 1935) if currently unknown.
