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 Belgic burial and ditches and pits of a Late Iron Age settlement were recorded during housing development. The burial lay in a small pit in the chalk, and was a cremation of an unsexed individual c25-40, accompanied by a butt beaker, 2 imitation Gallo-Belgic platters, a small jar containing 8 calcined teeth, and three fragmentary jars. Fragments of burnt daub and the broken remains of an iron La Tene III brooch were also found. [The excavator dated the find to after the Roman Conquest on grounds of the presence of early grey ware.]
