2500bc-14/1300bc | A conical shaped round barrow with a ditch, and a mound of soil with a few irregular layers of chalk lumps. In the mound were discovered a cut and polished horse's tooth some 7.5cm long (possibly a tool), some stag's horn fragments and a few potsherds. There were two chalk-cut pits at the centre of the barrow which had been previously disturbed, but in one untouched corner of one were the remains of a cremation set on burnt earth, and associated with these was a small whetstone. |
