:Quote- {{Colour|Green|"On the same day, that gentleman found a second skeleton a few yards to the north of this grave, lying the head to the south, the feet to the north; the skull on its face, and all the bones much decomposed. Two ornaments, described by Mr. Kendall as "resembling large muscle shells" were found lying a little below the head, and distant the one from the other about two inches. Something like a sword or dagger was observed lying at the right side, but it was no sooner handled than it mouldered into a rusty-coloured mass of dust. On the left, a sharp pointed metal instrument, scarcely a span in length, was observed protruding from below the face, having a ring of the same substance for the head."

"A circular ornament of about two inches in diameter, appearing to be the head of a large pin, was found lying in the angle, formed by the right elbow joint. A small cylindrical piece of bone, with something like an iron rod in it, was found lying under the chin, between the two ornaments resembling muscle shells. The bones were much decomposed, and appeared to have been those of a person in the middle of life." [Crofton Crocker 1846:p.332]}}

:Quote- {{Colour|Green|"The following day, Mr. Kendall discovered a skeleton about thirty yards east of the graves described, with its feet north, and its head south ; lying on its left shoulder, the face rather turned upwards. " The upper part of the skeleton was considerably bent forward. The right arm lay by the right side, half bent, while the fore arm and hand Avere were lying on the pelvis. A large comb, apparently two spans in length, lay across the right elbow joint. On removal, however, it was found that instead of one comb, there were two ; each being a span long. Left side — The left arm lay under the left side of the skeleton ; the fore arm was bent at right angles, and lay stretched out at the left side. " Found two ornaments resembling large muscle shells, one hjing lying on each breast, and close by the ornament upon the left breast lay seven beads. [Quere, were not thesethe objects affixed to the seven points of the ornament — the number corresponds with them?] A little below the chin lay a circular metal ornament of about an inch and a half in diameter. This article has evidently been the head of an ornamental pin. " A sharp-pointed metal instrument,- hardly a span in length, having a circular ring of the same metal for a head, was found lying upon the abdomen. This was the skeleton of an aged person of the ordinary size. It was nearly entire. Two bones of the pelvis have been preserved. This grave was both covered and surrounded by large flat stones."
