Chartham Down Grave 4
Middle-sized, or rather large tumulus; grave two feet and a half deep. Bones almost gone; the coffin had been pretty thick, and had passed the fire. Near the skull were two brass pins, with round heads; and a small piece of rusty iron, to which some very fine linen cloth adhered. Near the left hip was the blade of a knife, as before; and in getting down, was found a sherd of a coarse black urn.
