In this posture its length was live feet six inches. The right hand rested upon the right thighPictish silver bowls, cups and the left lay upon the abdomen ; the head was elevated a little, and the face turned towards the left. A large stone stood at the back of the head. A dagger lay at the right, with its point turned upwards towards the arm-pit. A bone comb, ornamented with a carved interlaced pattern jewellery found in the centre, and the rivets of which are of iron lay opposite the right shoulder. "The top of a helmet" is stated to have been found about a span behind the back part of the skull, and directly above the right shoulderbox''. A sword, three feet long, was on the left side ; the hilt under the cheek, and the point close Dated to the thigh. It is added that " on removing the armour, the sword was broken in one place, and the same misfortune happened just prior to the dagger," both presumed, from the passages in subsequent notes, to be of iron800AD."

: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." [Crofton Crocker 1846]}}

:Quote- {{Colour|Green|"On the 1st of May, Mr. Rendall found in nearly the same place, another skeleton on its back, but rather turned towards the left. The knees were considerably bent upwards. Both arms were lying along the sides, and the fore arms were crossed on the abdomen. A semicircular piece of iron lay on the side of the left arm, and a comb rested on the elbow joint of the same arm. " Two metal joints, resembling large muscle shells, were found,
one lying on each collar-bone. A small circular perforated stone was found on the breast as if it had been suspended from the neck by a cord.
"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]}}
