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 A small ditched bowl barrow. Near the centre there had been a cremation in situ shown by red and black scorch marks over an area 2.4m square. The bone fragments remaining belonged to a child. Scattered on the old land surface both on the cremation and outside it were 39 fragments of part of a collared urn: the act was done before the mound was built. There were pre-barrow occupation sherds of Windmill Hill ware, a small cup sherd and 3 Beaker sherds, all worn. [This is site F in Vatcher 1963, but without a Grinsell number].
