2500bc-14/1300bc | A bell barrow with a shallow pit contained the inhumation of a male, head to NE, upon a plank of elm wood. On the left side of the head was a bronze grooved dagger in a wooden case and a small bronze dagger, at the feet a crushed richly ornamented drinking cup. Some stag's horns were found at the head and feet. Three wooden posts had been placed in the mound, extending from the primary interment to the top of the barrow at an angle. |
