: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 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 on each breast, and close by the ornament upon the left breast lay seven beads. [Quere, were not these
the 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." [Crofton Crocker 1846]}}
