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 round barrow, the cairn enclosed by a dry stone wall kerb and extra-revetment. A number of large slabs under the mound at the centre covered an oval burial pit 0.9m x 0.5m x 20cm deep. This contained dark charcoal earth and a cremated adult (probably) male, buried without grave goods. A probable secondary burial at the north edge of the extra-revetment was represented by fragments of a small collared Early/Middle Bronze Age urn. To the east of the barrow an annex had been built which contained an oval burial pit with an adult cremation with no associations.
