Objects from a barrow at Aspatria, Cumbria
The drawing shows some of the objects found with the skeleton of a man beneath a barrow which was levelled. They include a sword, a knife, a battle-axe, a bridle bit, a gold strap end, and a buckle. The date of these appears to be Viking or later. There are also two stones, with cup and ring markings, which formed part of the cist, but were evidently reused from an earlier monument.
