Antiquity 56

WV 335830. Summary of three seasons' work which revealed a long sequence beginning with a scatter of microliths. In the ultimate Bandkeramik period two stone chambers and a mound covering stone paving and a cist were all enclosed by a triangular stone-kerbed mound (14C dates in mid 4th millennium bc). A new mortuary was built in the middle Neo period; there followed the deposit of eight fine b-t arrowheads and concealment of all by an oval mound with Beaker material, l4C-dated to earliest 2nd millennium bc. Arguments about megalithic origins are still based on too little evidence. A popular account (entitled Mysterious Mound) of the excavation as it progressed from first discovery has been compiled by Nick Machon and is available from Guernsey Press Co, Braye Road, Vale, Guernsey; c 32 unnumbered pp, price £1.46 postfree UK, £1.87 postfree overseas.
