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.

2500bc-14/1300bc A possible platform barrow with just north east of centre a crouched inhumation of an adult female, on the left side, head to S, facing west, unaccompanied. [This may have been Late Bronze Age or Iron Age.]

8/700bc-100bc There were 3 Iron Age, [6 Romano-British and 33 Anglo-Saxon] burials in a grave field 45m to the south west of the barrow edge. Dating evidence is not completely secure for the assumed Iron Age burials, which were:

No 1 a very shallow grave with the skeleton of a young adult female contracted on the left side, oriented SSW, associated with a sherd of bead-rimmed pottery and a sherd of Romano-British dish.

No 2 was in the same grave, a skeleton of an adult, oriented SSW, extended on the back with right arm across the body and the left arm bent at the elbow, and in association was a single unidentified iron fragment.

No 3 was the skeleton of an (?)adult oriented S, with in association a single sherd of pre-Belgic pottery from an Anglo-Saxon grave fill, and 3 sherds of early Romano-British pottery. This last inhumation had been badly disturbed by an Anglo-Saxon grave cutting across it.
