Context (Analysis)
The label might link to an article by William White in the Proceedings of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society 8 (3), pp. 292-300 titled 'On objects of antiquarian interest dug up in Trinity College' which was published in 1895. As this cannot be proven with certainty, the 'places' field left the connection to Trinity College vague.
