Abstract: |
The excavation of three trenches, the drawing of internal elevations, a watching brief during conservation work, a geological assessment and geophysical and auger surveys of the area immediately around the barrow was undertaken as part of a programme of repair and conservation. Two trial trenches were excavated through the top of the barrow mound and exposed structural elements of the barrow roof, an access used for antiquarian study in 1816, and modern repair works. The other trench was excavated through modern trample deposits in the gallery floor. Apart from probable Neolithic pottery, both Iron Age and Romano-British potsherds were recovered from the later intrusions in the top of the barrow. The 1 ha geophysical survey identified a row of six pit like anomalies extending from the eastern corner of the barrow and an area of low resistance on the north-east side of the barrow. The row of possible pits may have represented a boundary or path of any date, or may have been associated with forecourt structures of the Neolithic or later. The area of low resistance may have been associated with barrow construction, although the auger survey suggested it was a natural phenomenon. [Au(adp)] |
