No. LXXXIII.—A double interment. A bronze stud, two Roman coins, and a
knife.
No. LXXXIV.—Disturbed; the bones much deranged. Only a small double glass
bead.
No. LXXXV.—An oblique grave; disturbed. A bone of sheep or deer was found
with the skeleton, as well as a
|
roken knife, and a bronze fibula of the ring shape.
The latter measures about an inch and a half in diameter, and is
ornamented with little grooves, and with bosses at intervals as if
to imitate joints. One much like it is figured in the ‘Inventorium
|
|
Sepulchrale,’ and Mr. C. Roach Smith describes another
found at Ozingell. Mr. Akerman gives a plate of a similar ring, with keys
suspended from it, in his ‘Pagan Saxondom’ (p. 57). From the archaic
character of this
|
|
fibula,
and the facts that the grave varied considerably in direction from its
neighbours and contained an animal’s bone, I am inclined to rank this
among the oldest of the graves at Sarr.
No. LXXXVI.—A sword at the left, three feet long, including hilt; a
small piece of amber near the knees; a pair of bronze tweezers, nearly
three inches long and well preserved, much resembling Chatham Lines
and
|
described in the ‘Nenia Britannica,’ fig. 6,
plate 13; a bronze buckle near the centre, some studs, and a
broken knife.
No. LXXXVII.—Disturbed. A spear-head, a bronze buckle, and
stud.
