Pretty large tumulus; grave about three feet deep. The bones were almost gone; no appearance of a coffin. Near the neck, one earthen bead, and another small green one; the latter strung on a slender silver ring [M 6455], like that described at No. 10. I imagine they were both of them used as ear-rings, though the ring of one of them might have been broken and lost in getting out; they being always so brittle that we seldom can avoid breaking them. Here was also the blade of a knife.
