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.

14/1300bc-8/700bc A small round barrow without a ditch, composed of a mound of flinty orange brown soil, and covering a central circular interment pit, probably primary, containing a small heap of human bones of a tall well-built male. Pottery evidence (sherds of Middle to Late Bronze Age were found beneath the barrow) suggests the burial was Later Bronze Age, possibly related to the nearby Itford Hill and Blackpatch settlements.
