Guilton Grave 42

Grave as the last, and full four feet deep: much black remains of a burnt coffin: bones nearly gone. Among the teeth were twenty-six small glass and earthen beads of different colours, and one large one adorned and striped with red; they appeared to have been strung upon a small wire. Near the place of the right breast, and about six inches below the beads, I found a most beautiful round fibula subnectens [M 6006]; the face of it is pure gold, very curiously wrought, and set with a great number of small garnets in zigzag order; it has also four round sockets and six square ones, out of which the stones, or whatever else was set in them, are lost; in the centre is set a round garnet, which has a hole in it, in which, I imagine, a smaller stone was set: the under part of it is copper. There was also the blade of a knife: many small iron links of a chain, as in the last number: an iron instrument, exactly like that described at No. 15, and about six inches long; and another iron instrument not unlike a small key, about three inches long; and several nail-like pieces of iron as often before. Certainly a woman's grave.
