Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Report on the salvage excavation of the northernmost of an series of ring-ditches in a complex in the Diddington Quarries, on the former flood-plain of the River Great Ouse. Despite the site's paucity of finds, radiocarbon dating evidence indicated a probable date range of 1840--1780 cal BC; a Collared Urn recovered from another ring-ditch in the complex supports this. A cremation pyre and the cremated remains of an adult were found in a pit, itself dug into a larger pit adjacent to an in-turned sector of the ring-ditch. The evidence indicates that this and the other Diddington ring-ditches were without substantial mounds, and the author suggests that they constitute a distinct category of monument.
