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.

This contained an upright early type collared urn filled with the cremated remains of a probable female. The space between the urn and the cist walls was filled with chalk and wood ashes. The cist was covered by an inner cairn of sarsens and flints, mixed with chalk and wood ashes.

There was the crouched inhumation of a male 0.9m above this in the chalk rubble casing of the mound, on its right side, facing west, but with no grave goods.
