3500bc - 2500bc | At the bottom of a dome shaped pit dug into the chalk rubble c1.4m deep x 1.2m diameter was a (probably) contracted inhumation of a male adult whose bones bore Neolithic characteristics. There were also animal bones (horse, bos longifrons, small ox, deer, and sheep), and a few Neolithic flint tools (a chisel, a blunt ended arrow head with diagonal butt, 2 triangular and leaf-shaped arrow heads and a roughly triangular saw) in the brown loam fill above the burial deposit. |
