Abstract:		 This paper summarises the results of geophysical survey and excavation undertaken in 2007. Unstratified Neolithic finds recovered included a polished stone axe (probably Group VI Langdale or VII Penmaenmawr area of North Wales), a fragment of Peterborough Ware pottery and levallois-style discoidal flint core. A pit adjacent to where a barrow was later constructed contained charred grain and hazelnut fragments radiocarbon dated to 2340-2130 cal BC (SUERC-24179, 3795 ± 30 BP) and was associated with finely decorated beaker pottery. Early Bronze Age activity focussed around the partial ring-ditch of a ploughed-out barrow with an elongated pit and central pit for the primary cremation containing a deposit of burnt bone accompanied by flint artefacts and personal objects of worked bone and stone. The cremation deposit was radiocarbon dated to 2040-1880 cal BC (SUERC-24309, 3610 ± 30 BP). A second pit in the internal space of the ring-ditch could indicate that the barrow was reused for secondary burial which is common during the early post-Roman period. Other post-Roman features include corn dryers and the presence of free-threshing wheat including hulled 6-row barley, medieval ridge and furrow and post-medieval field boundaries. Au/SH
