2500bc-14/1300bc | A bowl barrow with a primary crouched interment of a (?)male on its right side, oriented SE, facing north, in a chalk cut rectangular grave. A slight ledge on the north east side held a few fragments of pottery of the type found in the filling and covering flint cairn, finger tip decorated and with cord rim decoration as at Handley 26 (Site 59). The grave was filled with flint nodules which extended over the edge of the grave. Among the nodules were 'numerous human bones as well as some burnt bones' of possibly two persons, one flint artefact and some flakes, and 15 fragments of pottery of which 10 were from one vessel, some ornamented with fingernail impressions, and one twisted cord rim fragment. |
