2500bc-14/1300bc In a ring ditch was set an overhanging rim urn burial of the cremated bones of a young female. Within the area of a second ring ditch there was the cremation of another young female in an urn of the Middle Bronze Age type. The pits were filled with stiff red clay with few pebbles. The same filling was used for the ring ditches themselves.
