Summary
The gazetteer provided below lists all sites and find-spots that have yielded cruciform brooches listed by county and then by the name of the site (usually parish). The counties used are the historical counties of England. Object numbers corresponding to the finds list in Appendix 1 follow the site name. Where there is more than one find-spot or site per parish, these are distinguished by Roman numerals, ascending in arbitrary order. Note that many finds from the Portable Antiquities Scheme database may well originate from the same archaeologically defined site (i.e. a cemetery), but their find-spots are distinguished here if the coordinates given on the database differ at all, ranging from a matter of tens of metres to kilometres. Hence, a parish such as Coddenham in Suffolk technically has ten find-spots that have yielded cruciform brooches. However, many of these may well originate from the same cemetery. Alternatively, some metal-detected finds are only given on the database with parish-level accuracy, meaning that many sites may have been lumped together. This introduces an element of bias into the dataset, caused by the varying accuracies with which metal detectorists have recorded their finds. It was felt that, rather than attempting to define these sites as separate cemeteries according to their often inaccurate distance from one another, the data would be presented as it is, preserving here the maximum amount of available information.
