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.

100bc-AD43 A rectangular grave pit within the hillfort enclosure, containing a semi-crouched inhumation on its left side, head to N, and without grave goods. There was a sherd possibly of the Iron Age, but not strictly identifiable as such. In three of the corners of the pit there appeared to be the remains of post holes. The characteristics of the burial suggest a later pre-Roman Iron Age date.
