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.

3500bc - 2500bc Long barrow with side ditches, oriented SE. At the east end was a pit covered and filled with flints but not explored to the bottom, and just west of this a dolichocephalic skeleton, probably articulated. An inner mound of black soil overlay these, chalk rubble covering the whole. These features were observed by an eye-witness to the barrow's destruction to make a rifle range in 1940.
