The Wilburton complex was present in the south of Britain and the Wallington complex in the north. Both are characterised by the introduction of Copper - Lead - Tin Alloy s in Bronze making and by the manufacture of leaf-shaped slashing swords, Socketed Spearhead s secured to a shaft with a peg, horse-bits and Socketed Axe s. It is paralleled by the Poldar Industries in Scotland and the Roscommon Industries in Ireland as well as being linked with the Urnfield A2-B1 in South Germany. It is preceded in Britain by the Penard phase, and followed by the Blackmoor phase.
