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 disc barrow previously excavated by Cunnington and Hoare. The central grave on re-excavation was empty and surrounded by an irregular stake ring, inside which were other stake structures. Hoare found in this and another disc barrow in this group (i) an interment and a 'broken dart of brass', and (ii) burnt bones, a few small amber rings and beads, jet beads, and a point of a 'brass dart'. The inner stake holes were mainly to the south east of the burial.
