Abstract:
Excavations undertaken in 2005 revealed four cremations, three clustered within 2m of each other and a fourth 15m to the west. Two had been placed within urns whilst two were unurned. Fragments of a third urn were recovered. Radiocarbon analysis showed a considerable spread of dates, with two burials producing dates of 1420-1260 cal BC and the other two producing dates about 300 years later and 500 years earlier respectively. The site appeared to represent a flat cemetery rather than a barrow cemetery. A linear stone-filled ditch was recorded 2m west of the cluster of burials; its relationship to the burials is unknown.
