The former was laid into a pit along with a few pieces of pottery and was encircled by boulders in a smaller area without any e.-w. orientation. The grave goods consisted of two coiled bracelets of iron and a very few skeletal remains such as fragments of a bone (radius) and desiduous tooth, probably of a youth. On the outer side of the sarcophagus 13 pots were found. Megalith 7 had a four-legged sarcophagus oriented n.-w. to s.-e. The capstone was without circle stones and rested on boulders 20 cm above the old surface. The sarcophagus, 54 × 34 × 49 cm, had holes at the bottom. With the exception of four small cups of Black-and-red Ware it did not reveal any object. Various shapes in pottery were found between the lid and the capstone. They included the dish, bowl, lid and ring-stand, besides a few pots. - [Previous: v2.c37.1287](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c37.1287) - [Next: v2.c37.1289](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c37.1289) - [Up: v2.c37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c37) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c37.1288](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c37.1288) · Pramāṇa
