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.

100bc-AD43 A round barrow in a square ditched and banked enclosure (of later date?), with a mound of rubble, gravel and earth. There was a central pit 0.9m long x 0.6m deep. It had been opened before 1880 when parts of human skeletons were found, but whether burnt or (assumed) unburnt is not known. This is not a very securely datable site.
