Description
Anglo Saxon spear head found in 1996 during mechanical rotivation by gardener Paul Stevanovic of the grass outside the east front of the Temple of Concord and Victory. The spear head was deposited with Bucks. County Museum Service. Unfortunately no investigation of the site carried out. It remains uncertain if the spear head is a stray find that has been redistributed or might indicate the site of an Anglo-Saxon grave. A third possibility, though unlikely, is that it may have been used to adorn a piece of of Stowe statuary.
