Note in accession register reads: 'Found on King's College land off the Barton Road, Newnham. Skeleton in very bad state of preservation found 4 feet below the surface, some 350 feet S of Road (at the back of St Marks) in the trench for the surface drainage. The skeleton lay in a somewhat contracted attitude but owing to decay rather difficult to locate ... the head NNE and feet SSW. On the chest three bronze fibulae with white enamel, on the right lower arm (above wrist) a decorated bronze bracelet (the bones of the left arm were missing), and over the feet a cup-shaped bronze (?) lamp with links of a chain attached. Three small flat bronze rings had been taken off the skeleton before I reached it. A. v. Hugel. May 27, 1903'
