Abstract: |
Excavation of a barrow - Barrow 6 - and burnt mound and buried soil as part of continuing fieldwork excavation and evaluation, including geophysical survey, pollen analysis and geoarchaeological assessment. Several Neolithic pits were discovered, some sealed by the barrow. Three phases of barrow construction were identified with a primary inhumation identified in Phase II and a well preserved secondary pit-pyre in Phase III. Artefacts include Groove ware and Beaker/Collared Urn pottery, Neolithic flint, charred wood and human cremated bone, a small quantity of animal bone and a single hammer stone. |
