Bishopsbourne Grave 8

This tumulus was the largest of them; it was about twenty feet diameter at the base, though not above four feet in perpendicular height above the natural surface; the grave was about three feet deep. The bones of the skeleton, which lay at the bottom of it, were very much decayed; yet those of a squirrel, or other small animal (which were found near the right side of the neck or head), were surprisingly strong and firm; and the shell of a remarkably large common brown snail, which lay near the little bones, seemed to be as well preserved as if it had not lain there a month. There were no visible remains of a coffin.
