8/700bc-100bc | A barrow c63m north of the Battery covered a central cremation contained in a possible Hallstatt I cinerary vessel, placed in a chalk cut pit in the barrow floor. All around the urn were sherds of some 7-8 urns seemingly broken at the deposition, a good ball of iron pyrites, and some burnt bone and charcoal. |
