Full Description
Pre 1921. Stray Find.
Found at unknown location in Feltwell parish:
Male skull.
Noted in (S1).
Information from record cards (S2) and (S3).
Amended by P. Watkins (HES), 12 March 2020.
It is noted on (S2) that this skull is possible one now in the 'Anatomy School, Cambridge'. It is therefore potentially a skull mentioned in (S4) which was apparently from "Feltwell Fen" and in the anatomical collections of Cambridge University. It is refered to as 'Mus. Anat. Cant. No 275'.
