Abstract:
A deposit of heat-cracked stone and charcoal, revealed by stream erosion in the bank of the Milwich Brook, was identified as a `burnt mound' and a limited excavation was carried out. Samples of the mound material were radiocarbon dated to 1880--1400 cal BC and 1510--1170 cal BC, indicating a Bronze Age date, suggesting that the site may have been in use for a long period. Survey work was also carried out on a `kidney' or `crescent' shaped burnt mound at Lount Farm (SK 0379 2184) and at a round burnt mound at Stafford Brook Farm (SK 0192 1817). The report concludes with a discussion of the location and distribution of burnt mounds, and the possible functions associated with them. Includes a catalogue of burnt mounds located in the South Staffordshire area since 1990, and also
