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 ring ditch containing in the NW quadrant a small oval pit with a cremation comprising burnt crumbly bones probably of an adult, ashes and many fragments of an urn of Late Bronze Age form and fabric. The ditch section in this quadrant showed a similar stratification to that of No 1 (Site 1026), with an upper fill of black earth containing fragments of pottery (suggestive of a Late Bronze Age date) and burnt bones of a probable adult. The ditch also contained portions of skull and longbones of a child. The Iron Age settlement nearby respected this monument, and no pits were dug within it.
