SU 172332. Circular soil marks were shown by excavation to mark the line of the ditches of two ploughed-out barrows, one of EBA Wessex II date, the other Saxon. The grave of the Bronze Age barrow contained a cremation with a pair of bone tweezers. The ditch of the Saxon barrow was interrupted by a causeway and evidence is adduced for an external bank and a small internal mound similar to that of prehistoric disc barrows. The grave was very large and contained the skeleton of a male individual equipped with a hanging bowl containing onions and crab-apples, seax, a shield with sugar-loaf boss, two spears, a buckle and a bone comb. The burial is of 7th century date and the seax is of special significance because of the elaborate nature of its scabbard fittings. Au | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
