Grave goods

• Copper-alloy Bowl
• Pair of non-identical oval brooches. Both Petersen type P37.
• Hangerock. Textile remains preserved on the rears of the oval brooches and on the knife have been identified as z-spun tabby weave made from plant fibre (linen). In addition a number of thin linen strips (4mm wide) were found around the pins of the brooches. It appears that there was a pair of loops at the base of the brooch and a single loop at the top.
• Iron key; iron knife
