The body is orientated east-west and is located in the centre of the burial pit.

Unit description: Part of human skull from burial was initially rejected by human bone people and tentatively (mis)identified as a pathological baculum, which became enshrined in folklore. In fact it turns out to be ossified cricoid cartilage, with cuts from removal of the head.
