Abstract:		 The excavations revealed part of a Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age ring ditch enclosing the crouched inhumations of a child and three adult females. This example was an addition to the group of barrows known to have clustered along the gravel terraces beneath the modern City of Oxford and surrounding areas. Radiocarbon dating of the skeletons indicated that the barrow had been in use over several centuries. The earliest and richest burial of an adult female was unusual in having suffered a blow to the back of the head, probably form a bronze axe. This injury was one of the few documented examples of violence in this period. [Au(abr)]
