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 A bowl barrow on a false crest, with a central pit containing a primary deposit of burnt bones of two children c5-10 and c1.5-2. A large piece of flint split into a wedge shape and fire damaged had been placed at the northern end and was the only associated object. There were many secondary interments in cremation vessels up to the 1st Century AD. From the upper silt of the barrow ditch came fragments of a collared urn, and many pieces and types of Late Bronze Age and Iron Age pottery. Excavators dated it to the Late Bronze Age.
