Guilton Grave 6
Grave, as before, about three feet deep; the bones quite gone; an umbo of a shield, much like that described in No. 5, but that it is much more conical; it has a round stud in its centre like that; three iron broad-headed rivets or studs, as before; the head of an hasta, much like that described at No. 1; this lay on the right side of the place of the skull; and the blade of a knife, like those already mentioned, near the right hip.
