Abstract: |
SP 135262. Describes the excavation of a ploughed-out Cotswold round barrow, Swell 8, of which little remained but the unaccompanied primary cremation in a pit. This pit was overlain by burnt timbers yielding 14C dates not earlier than 15th century bc. Flint artefacts, including a large surface collection from the area, and a fragmentary bronze blade (also a surface find) are discussed in detail and the site as a whole is set within its Cotswold Bronze Age context. Excavation strategy on such severely damaged sites is also discussed. |
