Abstract:		 Excavations carried out in 1996 in advance of development in an area of extensive cropmarks revealed two ring ditches, within the area of one of which were a number of shallow pit features, two of which contained small amounts of cremated bone. No material was recovered that would enable the ring-ditches to be dated. To the north of the second ring ditch were three pits, each of which contained an almost complete Bronze Age vessel holding a cremation burial. Extension of the excavated area revealed a number of further pits containing cremation burials and pottery sherds, lying in the area between the two ring ditches. A total of twenty-two deposits were recognised as representing possible burial pits or features, most containing only pottery and/or cremated bone. One contained a small round fired clay object, a few contained charcoal, two contained animal bone and fired clay, and one of these also contained hazelnut and cereal crop remains.
