Tumulus and grave much as the last. The bones were much decayed; the coffin was much burnt. The head of an hasta, on the right side and out of the coffin: an hemispherical umbo of a shield: three studs of iron, with broad heads: a piece of iron to strengthen the shield, such as I have before called cross pieces; such an one is already described at No. 124. The blade of a sword: it is two-edged; two and a half feet long; near two-inches broad next the strig, and about an inch broad near the point. Here were also the blades of two knives: two small brass rivets, as before; some nails and other pieces of iron.
