Note 1148 — Chapter X · THE CULT OF THE HORSE
Reading edition
Ridgeway, op. cit. p. 503. Mr L. Jewitt, Grave-Mounds and their Contents, 1870, asserts (p. 201) that horseshoes are occasionally met with in burials of the Roman-British period and (p. 264) that they have been recorded from Anglo-Saxon graves in Berkshire. The conclusions reached by Prof. T. McKenny Hughes, in Proc. Camb. Antiq. Soc., X. 1904, pp. 249-58, should be consulted; they vary somewhat from those given in the text. On the general question, see Jour. Brit. Archaeol. Assoc., VI. pp. 406-18; Antiquary, 1911, N.S., VII. p. 275.
