Abstract:		 An Early Bronze Age round barrow was excavated in 2005 in advance of a quarry extension. The ring ditch enclosed an area 26m in diameter, but all traces of a former mound had been lost to later cultivation. Towards the centre of the barrow were three small pits. One contained an almost complete cremation burial of an adult, mixed with other pyre debris that had been hot and smouldering when deposited. The burial was accompanied by a miniature cup, and oak sapwood charcoal from the pyre has been radiocarbon dated to 1940-1770 cal BC (68% confidence). A nearby pit contained parts of two collared urns. Another pit contained a smaller deposit of cremated bone from a child aged 8-13 years, and some pyre debris. The primary ditch fills contained much limestone, suggesting that the barrow mound had been at least capped with limestone. Most sections show a dark secondary soil horizon, probably a buried turf line. The homogeneous upper fill contained a little Bronze Age pottery, a length of a human femur probably from a disturbed inhumation burial, and pottery no later than the Iron Age.
