Excavation of the surviving half of a barrow, identified from aerial
photographs as having three concentric ditches, revealed a sequence of at
least six major alterations. The site may originally have been a Class I
henge monument subsequently adapted for use as a barrow. Features of all
phases were mainly in the central area of the barrow and included two
inhumations in coffins, one accompanied by a Yorkshire-type food vessel. A
cremation in a Primary Series collared urn was accompanied by a bronze
razor/knife and two flint plano-convex knives. A further cremation in a
collared urn was found in the middle ditch. The barrow lay close to a
settlement; early Bronze Age flintwork and pottery, including Grooved Ware
and Beaker, were recovered from the several phases of mound make-up.
