Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Two of a group of three circular mounds set on a spur of high ground overlooking the valley of the river Nene at Tansor, Northamptonshire, were partially excavated prior to a road improvement scheme. The larger mound had originated as a Neolithic mortuary or funerary enclosure, with the encircling ditch and barrow mound dating to the late Neolithic/early Bronze Age. Respect for the site continued into the late Bronze Age and it was also a focus for early Saxon burials. Its chronology has been defined by a series of radiocarbon dates. The smaller mound was a medieval windmill mound. The cross-tree slots of a post mill lay at the centre of a low clay mound encircled by a broad ditch. It was apparently in use for no more than a few decades around the middle of the thirteenth century. The absence of any timber remains suggests that the windmill had been systematically dismantled. | ||||||||
