2500bc-14/1300bc | A bell barrow with a cremation placed in a heap in a wooden box oriented NS, 1.05m x 0.6m, which had been put on the old ground surface and covered with a coat of bluish clay. The box possibly had bronze fittings. Accompanying the cremation were 2 bronze daggers, a bone pin (by the cremated bones), and a pair of bone tweezers. Over the blue clay covering the mound was constructed, and near its surface 5 inhumations were found but were undatable. |
