Nos. CXLIII.—CXLVII.—Two small knives,one very slender; a broken bead, a
spear-head, and an iron tool.
No. CXLVIII.—Skeleton with head to the east, the opposite direction to

diameter, and of archaic pattern (see Plate VI., Fig. 8); the centre
is a raised boss set with a green stone, and from this radiate ten sliced
garnets, of nearly triangular shape; the back is plated with silver. A
bronze buckle, one large ribbed bead, probably Roman, and a curiously-shaped

Nos. CLIV., CLV.—Both disturbed. A broken pin or
bodkin, one amber bead, and fragments of bronze and iron.

on the left side of the head; a short sword, only twenty-six
inches and a half in the blade; an umbo over the face; a
spear-head and its socket.
No. CLVII.—An oblique grave. To the left of the head, lay on
its side a black earthen vessel with handle
