Abstract:		 A BA barrow excavated by L and F de M Vatcher in 1966 had been reused in 7th century AD for a richly furnished Anglo-Saxon inhumation of a female aged 18-25 years. She lay on an ash-wood bed with elaborate iron fittings, and was surrounded by high quality grave goods including an iron-bound bucket, a maplewood casket containing a sprinkler, spoon, and personal items, an ornate satchel with gold foil mounts of possible Christian significance, and a bronze-mounted bucket. The burial's significance is considered in its local and national context. Documentary and topographical evidence suggest the possible identification of the barrow with Posses Hlaewe, recorded in a charter of AD 940.
