Note 84 — Fifth Lecture. THE LAKE-DWELLINGS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND.
Reading edition
An artificial island, 30 yards in diameter, thickly planted with timber and surrounded with piles. In 1870 a canoe was found on the shore of this islet, embedded in the mud and half destroyed by fire. In the stuff lying on its floor were found some iron tools—an adze, a hammer (both with handles), a socketed chisel, two whetstones, and some fragments of iron.
