A small, finely made, leaf-shaped arrowhead of light grey flint lay on the ribcage. Within the vicinity of the skeleton, probably within the original grave, was a shard of coarse, gritty, dark grey pottery similar to neolithic pottery found at hembury. Preliminary study suggests the remains to be those of a young adult, possibly male (todd).
