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 In Area 'a' there was a small oval pit cut into the natural coombe rock. This was a shallow grave partly lined with small sarsens, containing a crouched inhumation of a male c30-35, head to NE, facing E, accompanied by a late Beaker (Clarke's S3) on its side mouth downwards, a bronze awl, a flake and a flint knife. Behind the skeleton was patch of soil containing fine flecks of charcoal.
