Kingston Down Grave 124

Tumulus and grave much as the last. The bones were much decayed; the coffin did not appear to have passed the fire. Here was a conical umbo of a shield [M 6246]: the head of a hasta or spear, as at No. 16: two pieces of iron, which were riveted to the inside of the shield in order to strengthen it; they are about five inches in length and half of an inch in breadth, and have a rivet at each end; the rivet is about half an inch long. Here were also three broad-headed iron studs, as before: the blade of a knife: a large iron buckle, as at No. 35; and some nails.
