Site Album : Mound 5
The Mound 5 platform. The box-trenches of the British Museum expedition of 1966-71 have been re-emptied, and the remaining mound platform cleaned to Horizon 4. 1987.
The Mound 5 robber trench and burial pit runs from E-W, cutting an Iron Age ditch. 1987.
Inside a quarry pit (Int 48, F5, quarry pit for Mound 5). The lowest layer is backfill at the time of mound building in the 7th century. The dark layer which covers it is turf which formed on the backfill between the 7th and 10th centuries and above this is the 'pale sand', a podsolic soil pushed in by the plough in the 16th century, 1989.
Mound 5 on the completion of excavation in 1987. A satellite burial is being excavated in the middle ground, and Burial 12 in the foreground.
