This, the final cremation in the series, was found in a large pit cut
into the summit of the tumulus, a few centimetres below the surface.
Most of its grave-goods were placed along the west side of the pit.
They consist of bronze vessels of differing types and sizes with
especially elaborate handles, a bronze box, along with a bronze
cylindrical container, clay and glass vessels, an iron folding stool, a
bronze lamp stand, the height of which was adjustable, and whose base
ended in lions feet, a bronze lamp etc. In this burial too there was a
bronze lantern which was better preserved than the two found in
cremation burials B and D.
