the "celtic head" at Bath if you have a chance. There are stone heads that 
are found in a pagan roman context, and the head of the stature of Minerva 
at Bath seems to have been decapitated when found...
   
  they ripped Sulis-Minerva's head from her shoulders and ritually killed it by burying it outside the temple - an insight into the new mindset of two K ago
   
   - believe the same applies 
at the Uley shrine, the old gods overthrown.. Just read recently that there 
have been only 150 beads found in barrows, which might suppose that they 
were not decorative, but belonged in the pouch of magic trinkets that the 
shaman would have when he was buried.
