2500bc-14/1300bc | A bowl barrow with a chalk and earth mound containing scattered fragments of charcoal, black mould and ash, and covering a large circular pit 1.5m in diameter and nearly 1.5m deep. At the bottom were three inhumations deposited with no regularity (implies disarticulated?), covered by a layer of chalk and earth 0.3m thick on which lay another inhumation similarly covered. On that covering was a 5th inhumation, extended. In the mound were two other inhumations. No datable material was found. |
