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 bowl barrow with a primary inhumation of a female child c6-7 with distinct hydrocephalic skull, accompanied by a small cylindrical bead. Above this was a contemporary inhumation of a young adult female, head to E, with a hydrocephalic skull, probably related to the child. There were secondary cremations in heaps near both skeletons, and one with a Middle Bronze Age collared urn (the Porton urn), seemingly at the same level of the inhumations or between them.
