2500bc-14/1300bc A ring ditch with a primary cremation 1m west of the centre in a small oval pit 0.78m x 0.5m x 0.2m deep. It was the remains of a female c15-20 possibly accompanied by a foetus or newly born baby, and there was also a canine and incisor tooth of a pig.

In the primary fill of the ditch in the south east quadrant fragments of two pots in association were found, one a bipartite urn and the other a hybrid Beaker-urn.

RC: from layer 4 charcoal (clearance horizon?) I-7148 1500 +/-90

About 28m west north west of the western edge of the ring ditch in a shallow hole 5cm deep was the cremation of a child c0-6 months in a Bronze Age urn, placed early on grounds of fabric type.

14/1300bc-8/700bc In the ditch in the north east quadrant, in the layer above a charcoal spread (possibly a clearance horizon), there was a secondary disturbed inhumation of a female c20-25, crouched on its right side, with head to NNW. A cairn of stones was piled above.

RC: from human bone HAR-341 1040 +/-80
