Abstract:		 [J 025203]. The 14C dates demonstrate a very slow deposition rate for the peat deposits at the margin of the cairn. A major elm decline with signs of woodland clearance at c 2000 BC is unlikely to be connected with the building of the main passage grave cairn. The appearance of small stones in the deposit corresponds with signs of woodland or scrub clearance on the mountain and may relate to the cairn-building; the date-bracket for these stones is c 3300 to c 2000 bc. Two further periods of rather intense human activity in the area are datable to c 1300 bc and c 700 bc; by the latter date the mountain was treeless and heath-covered. Hazel scrub was important from pre-Neolithic times onwards. Au(abr)
