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 drystone wall cist with a cover slab, 0.6m x 0.5m x 0.5m deep, which contained an inverted oval-mouthed Beaker with a few finely comminuted bones. There were a few blue specks (beads?) among the earth which had sifted into the cist, but these could not be found when the urn was taken out. There was some evidence for a mound over the cist, retained by a stone kerb. The urn was dated to the later Middle Bronze Age, but the illustration if accurately drawn suggests an earlier form.
