Abstract:
Reports on a survey and selective excavation conducted on an area of field system adjoining a RB `courtyard house' settlement. The excavation examined the rectangular field system and a BA funerary cairn incorporated into one of the field boundaries. The earliest phase of the field system is thought to date from the second millennium BC. The `Landscape survey and interpretation' is discussed by P Rose, J Nowakowski & A Sharpe (170--5). Cremated `Human remains' from the cairn are reported on by S A Mays (187--9). `The character and the inferred intra-site chronology of the Early Bronze Age Trevisker style pottery' is discussed by David Tomalin (189--94), and `Pottery petrology' is examined by D F Williams (194--5). Lithic finds included flint or chert arrowheads and other objects (all predating the cairn). `Soil micromorphology and chemistry: summary' is by Richard I Macphail (198--203) and `Pollen analysis of the Bronze Age Cairn and a peat profile' is by Robert G Scaife (203--9).
