It contained a central (?)primary cremation of an adult in a barrel urn in a shallow pit, and three (?secondary) barrel urn cremations grouped in one pit, one accompanied by a small finger-tipped vessel. All urns were upright. Some slabs (their covers?) were found in the ditch with other barrel urn sherds. |
