Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An area of 3.5ha was mechanically stripped nuder archaeological supervison then the features revealed were excavated or sampled by hand. The excavation revealed a variety of features ranging in date from Bronze Age to post-medieval and modern. The most significant results are three round barrows with an associated cremation cemetery, firmly dated to the 15th to 13th centuries BC, with a substantial pottery assemblage and a chronology supported by a radiocarbon dating programme. Unfortunately the cremated bone was in general very poorly preserved and provided very little information on the population that was buried here. Other finds were also very few. The results add considerably to previously published work on archaeological remains in the quarry. Further reports will cover the remaining aspects of the archaeology of this site.
