14/1300bc-8/700bc | A bowl barrow consisting of a cairn of uniform sized flints covering 3 plain and 3 urn cremations all in chalk pits. The 2 bucket urns in size formed a pair, one being elaborately decorated, the other with a simple double encircling band. They were covered with flat stones and were placed upright in pits in close contiguity, the thin wall of separation being perforated by a circular opening 7.5cm in diameter. The third urn was set inverted in a cist, and filled and surrounded by burnt bones and ashes. |
