The relics were found, in July 1927, on a skeleton in the

moss with a birch stick laid across the body. Professor T. H. Bryce

examined the skeleton and reported in a letter of August 5th, 1927,

that it represented a short, poorly developed person somewhat over

20 years old. The long bones were very short and fragile, the length

of the thigh bone indicating a height of under 4 ft. 10 ins. The sex is

doubtful. There was some dark hair still adhering to the bones.
