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.

14/1300bc-8/700bc A round barrow with a pit 2.25m across x 15cm deep and near central, filled with tips of chalk rubble and dark soil, and empty of finds. Partly cut into the pit at the south west and partly cut into chalk was a small cremation pit containing a Late Bronze Age urn with Middle Bronze Age Cornish style ornamentation and the remains of an adult. Large slabs of tabular flint supported it. Turfy soil covered the pit, the whole central area being covered by a flint cairn. The covering mound was of stony loam.
