6 In the absence of bits at Llyn Fawr and Court-Saint-Etienne, the detailed mechanics of the cheek pieces are slightly uncertain. Evidence from Lengenfeld suggests that a two-link bit of bronze would be appropriate. For greater certainty in the interpretation of these pieces it would be necessary to experiment with facsimiles on a horse of the right size, e.g. something like a Shetland pony, not the breed used by M. Mariën for his reconstructions. I am grateful to Professor R. J. C. Atkinson for his observations on this.
