Abstract:		 In advance of housing, 0.66ha of excavation focussed on two monuments that formed part of a prehistoric funerary group overlooking the Stour Valley. They had been recorded by aerial photography, topographic and geophysical survey. Several hollows and tree throws suggested activity in a forested landscape prior to monument construction in the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age (3200 - 1500 BC). A ring ditch 37m in diameter enclosed a small off-centre pit from which cremated human bone and a pair of Early Bronze Age bone tweezers were recovered. A substantial deposit which yielded over 900 sherds of Anglo-Saxon pottery, made in the backfill of the ditch, is evidence of revisiting of the earthwork. The more complex monument, 25m in diameter, comprised two concentric ring ditches of unequal size, enclosing a large central grave under vestiges of mound material up to 0.5m deep. The grave contained a crouched burial of a young adult female, furnished with a later-Neolithic/earlier Bronze Age beaker vessel and an unusual necklace consisting of large amber pieces and c.400 tiny black jet and white shell beads. A secondary, crouched, infant inhumation was made in the mound. A working hypothesis is that a large central pit may be evidence of a post for a medieval windmill and the outer ring ditch may be a secondary feature relating to this. Further features on the site include a smaller ring ditch enclosing a central pit containing cremated remains/pyre debris, an isolated pit containing cremated bone deposits and another (medieval) pit containing burnt bone.
