Kragehul Find.—In a small bog called Kragehul, situated near the city of Assens on Fyen, objects have been found which seem to belong to the 4th or 5th century. The first mention of the Kragehul bog is in 1751, when some articles with rune inscriptions were found, which, unfortunately, have been lost, but it was not until 1864 that a regular exploration took place.[^[163]]
