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 a barrow with a stone ring was a slightly biconical urn with two large handles set upright on a stone in a small stone cist at the end of a long stone 0.9m high. Surrounded by soft fine earth nearly as black as soot, it contained an adult cremation, the bones very clean. Below the fine black earth was a layer of blue and then yellow clay, the latter underlying the natural ground surface. The mound held three pieces of worked flint and sherds of an urn of later date.
