14/1300bc-8/700bc Two Deverel Rimbury urns and an accessory vessel of Late Bronze Age date were discovered in gravel working. The first Deverel Rimbury urn was fragmentary but the cremation had retained its shape, the bones being covered by a layer of pebbles. With this was found a baked clay ball. The other urn was found separately, was large and upright, and contained a stratum of charcoal and burnt clay (but no bone), and a handsome flint flake. Possibly these were survivors of an urnfield.
