2500bc-14/1300bc | A bell barrow with mound of earth and chalk (the chalk especially on the west side), but no sarsens. It had a floor thickly strewn with charcoal and wood ash, at the centre of which was an oval pit oriented NNW/SSE, 1m x 0.45m x 0.4m deep. It contained a cremated adult with a square headed perforated bone pin. The pit upcast formed a small mound just west north west of the burial. In the barrow mound material was a flint saw, 3 flint scrapers, flint chippings, and 7 potsherds including a Beaker sherd. |
