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 crouched interment, head to W, facing S, and a secondary cremation. There were also found a bronze knife dagger with 2/3 rivet holes, a bronze awl, and three worked flints 0.5m from the skull. Some post holes (5 in a straight line) were revealed in one of the cuttings, and over the central one the primary interment was set. The arrangement suggests a central post with 4 concentric post circles, or one side of an entrance to the central enclosure.
