In 1940 Shetelig's 'Viking Antiquities in Great Britain and Ireland, Volume IV' [BJORN and & SHETELIG 1940] summarised the original french 1908 journal report. [CHATELLIER and & PONTOIS 1908:p.137-232]. It is the authors intention to try and marry Bjorna Bjorn's and Shetelig's summaries (in green text) with the images from the original 1908 French journal article. Where more information has been gained since the 1940's this has been added after the 1940's summary.
