Tumulus and grave much as the last. The bones of a young person, very sound; the teeth were remarkably even and white; the coffin did not appear to have passed the fire. On the right side was the head of a pilum. Here were also the blade of a knife, and two triangular, thin, plates of brass [M 6172], with a triangular hole in the middle; they have also a rivet-hole at each angle. Perhaps they were ornaments to a belt, or some such thing, being found one by each hip. Here were also several nails, and other bits of iron.
