Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An early Bronze Age round barrow, excavated in 2005 in advance of a quarry extension, was situated on sloping ground at the edge of a spur overlooking the River Chater. The ring ditch enclosed an area 26m in diameter, but all traces of a former mound had been lost to later cultivation. Near the centre of the barrow a small pit contained an almost complete cremation burial of an adult, accompanied by a miniature cup, mixed with pyre debris that had been still smouldering when deposited. Oak sapwood charcoal from the pyre has given a radiocarbon date of 1940–1770 cal BC (68 per cent confidence). A nearby pit contained parts of two small collared urns. Another pit contained cremated bone from a child, aged 8–13 years, and some pyre debris. The primary ditch fills contained much limestone, suggesting that the barrow mound had either a stone revetment or capping. Most sections showed a dark secondary soil horizon, probably a buried turf line. The homogeneous upper fill contained a little Bronze Age pottery and a length of a human femur, perhaps from disturbed burials, and some Iron Age pottery.
