Crundale Grave 22

The first grave we opened was close to, and parallel with, the road; it was about four feet deep, and contained a full grown skeleton, lying, as before, with its feet nearly south-west. The bones were surprisingly firm and strong, and the teeth remarkably sound, white, and even. I think this person must needs have been about six feet and a half high. On each side of the head was a small urn of black earth; one of which was broken by the workmen who opened the grave; the other came out entire [M 6781]. Here was also found the blade of a knife, exactly like that described at No. 9; it lay near the right hip. Here was no appearance of any coffin.
