14/1300bc-8/700bc | A possible crematorium or ritual site. There were two inhumations within a ditch c27m in diameter and the limestone footings of a structure at the centre. Flat-rimmed pottery of Totternhoe type and a blue glass bead of La Tene culture were found, the latter suggesting extension of the site's use into the Early Iron Age. |
