Full Description
(1-2) An Anglo-Saxon bone needle, bone comb and bronze tweezers were found in Houghton in 1925. The exact findspot is uncertain. It is stated that the finds were recovered from Houghton Road. However, this road does not exist.
{3} The items are in Northampton Museum and with them is a pair of bronze tweezers, apparently associated. Houghton Road is presumably that from Northampton to Houghton. No further information.
