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 On the Later Bronze Age occupation site there was a crouched burial 1157 with a gully running north east adjacent and apparently aligned on it. The pit was an isolated oval pit c0.6m x 0.85m with the crouched burial of an adult male c30-35 lying on its left side, head to SE, arms and legs tightly folded, and bent forward so that the knees rested on the forehead. There were no grave goods.

RC: from skeletal bone HAR-5503 890 +/- 90

8/700bc-100bc At the bottom of the Early Iron Age ditch was a crouched burial 1215 in an oval pit c1m x 0.5m cut 0.15m into the ditch bottom. The head was to the south west and bent forwards, arms bent up to the head, legs well drawn up, the burial being of an adult c18-23. There were no grave goods.

RC: from skeletal bone HAR-5502 180 +/- 120

A second crouched burial 1275 was in an oval pit c1.4m x 1m, prone, head to NE, turned to the left, arms raised up, legs bent up, one to the side, the body that of an adult male c30-35. There was no dating evidence but the excavators associated it on probabilities with the adjacent Early Iron Age settlement.
