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 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.
