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 stone cairn, without a kerb. There was a small roughly oval central pit containing blackened soil, some stones and 2 very small fragments of cremated bone. Contemporary with the building of the mound was the deposition of a crude barrel shaped pot of (Late?) Bronze Age fabric buried face downwards in the cairn, 1.8m south of the centre. There was some soil and a few limestone pieces in the pot, which was not of any recognisable type.
