Under the same tumulus, and close on the left hand of the last mentioned skeleton, were the bones of a very young person, or of a largish child; they were pretty much decayed; no appearance of a coffin. Near the neck, to which, I believe, it had been pendent, was a cross of silver. In the centre of it is a globule, or hemisphere, of silver [M 6717], set in a socket of gold; and near it were two silver rings with sliding knots; and three small glass and earthen beads of different colours, as usual. This was certainly the grave of a female.
