Found so much of skeleton as to show that the body was lying north and south, rather inclining to the right side, with the face toward the sea. Only half of the skull was found, and, from its appearance, may have been cleft before being buried. Found a small iron hatchet lying before the body ; also several small pieces of iron were found round the grave, plainly showing that there had been armour * attached to the person buried. Half of a helmet was also found." William Rendall, 18th Oct 1849 [Anderson 1880:p.85]}}

The horse was laid on its belly, with its head towards the sea, and directed northeast, with its hinder part towards the south-west. The horse's head was resting on the nose, and quite entire, of rather a small size. After removing it a piece of iron was found between its jaws, plainly showing that it had been a bit, with one of the rings for the bridle. Found immediately before the horse's head part of a human skeleton lying with the feet toward the north No head could be found. The thigh
bones were crossed. Found much remains of iron rust, with a small piece of iron, either a spear-head or small sword. A buckle was found on the right side; also a piece of bone, which hud been attached to metal. Part of the skeleton of a dog was also found in the grave."
