Background to the Gazetteer | Table of Contents

Note that there may be a few slight discrepancies between counts given in the text and the returned results in the gazetteer. This is a result of corrections and amendments (not updates) made to the gazetteer since the research was published in BAR. This does not materially affect the picture presented but does add more detail.

3500bc - 2500bc Long earthen barrow oriented N, with a mound of chalk core covered by rubble with earth and turf capped by rubble. Primary burials had been probably destroyed. A fragment of Neolithic pottery plain bowl was found in the primary silt of the ditch (later Neolithic date?). A regular pit was made in the side of the barrow shortly after its completion; it was stained at the bottom with organic matter and held an extensive deposit of lumpy chalk. It had all been carefully dug, deposited and refilled. The 'ritual pit' found in 1936 was marked by large stones. There was no human skeletal material of the Neolithic.
