Abstract:		 SO 793013. Excavations to prepare the tomb for display added some new details to Clifford's 1937 results. Sherds of an Ebbsfleet and a Mortlake bowl, from forecourt blocking and chamber respectively, were found. Discrepancies between successive plans drawn in 1862, 1883 and 1937/74 still cannot be resolved, and the denuded state of this tomb (as of most Cotswold-Severn tombs) makes assignment to any particular type of transept form unwise without total excavation. The internal cairn construction also remains ambiguous; some remodelling during construction seems likely (again with implications for other tombs). Extra-revetment material appeared to be the true edge of the cairn, functional rather than ritual. The environmental report covers mollusca, charcoals, animal and human bones, and a few flints.
