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 barrow with a mound of soil 'very different...from that common to the neighbourhood' and notably free from flint which was common. It covered a cremation accompanied by a bronze dagger of two rivets, a bronze chisel, and a broken grooved ragstone which had been burnt. This last was an arrow shaft smoother. A few flint flakes were in the mound. The cremation had been placed centrally on the old ground surface, and a trench dug round them.
