Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Barrow No 3: originally constructed to hold prehistoric burials of unestablished date, the barrow was enlarged to a kidney-shape, in the horns of which a young man and joints of oxen were buried. In the fourth century AD eighteen burials hastily placed in shallow graves may represent a massacre. In the Middle Ages a gallows was established on the barrow and the remains of six victims were uncovered. A pit of unknown function contained a horse skull and dice. Barrow No 4: this harrow was probably constructed in the mid-1st century BC, and consisted of a burial pit covered by a simple ditchless clay mound. It was badly damaged by military activity during the Second World War, which practically destroyed the burial. | ||
