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 Possibly two confluent bowl barrows looking like one long oval in shape. In the mound centre a bowl shaped recess was cut into the chalk and contained a cremation with a bone bead. The base of the recess retained the impress of the cloth which had wrapped the cremation - rather coarse, with 3-4 strands to 65mm. There were three secondary cremations in small urns of honey-pot shape, inverted, of the (?)Late Bronze Age.
