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.

2500bc-14/1300bc Within the defences of a defended enclosure of uncertain age, there was a circular stone cairn. This covered two apparent cremation deposits, one accompanied by a bronze dagger, at least two cinerary urns (one of impressed cord decoration), and some worked flints. There were no cists. The record does not well describe the precise associations.
