Kingston Down Grave 161

Tumulus of the middle size. The grave about three feet deep, with its feet pointing to the east; the bones were nearly gone; the coffin was very much burnt. Near the neck was a beautiful fibula subnectens of silver [M 6347]: it is neatly set with seven garnets, and some ivory: the intervals are curiously wrought and gilded: with it were three thin bracteated silver ornaments [M 6349], or amulets for the neck; three slender silver rings with sliding knots, as before; five amethyst drops for the ear-rings, or perhaps beads; ten beads; a short piece of double brass [M 6350], which seems to have served for an eye to some small strap, or some such thing: it has two rivets in its end; a brass pin with a flatted head [M 6348], and having an hole through it. These all lay near the neck. Here were also the blade of a knife and some nails. A woman's grave.
