Abstract: |
Pre-barrow occupation comprised possible settlement features (one with flints of 'hunter period'), greenstone axe fragments, Beaker sherds, and 'farmer period' flints. In a primary grave was a tree-trunk coffin surviving as dark residues with faint traces of inhumation. Over the grave was an inner turf stack, itself sealed by a massive cairn of cobbles and boulders over which was a mound of turf and sandy soil. Footprints survived on grave upcast. Small stones revetted the mound and separated it from an enclosing ditch. EBA urn fragments may represent a later burial and there was also a secondary cremation. Post-medieval activity included an ?unsuccessful attempt at barrow-digging. Au (abr) |
