• GA043-019 Burial mound
  Description

  On an esker in undulating grassland. Excavated in 1937 (Willmot 1939, 121-4), it consisted of a small earthen mound (D c. 16m, H 2.2m) built on a low natural knoll. It was encircled by a shallow fosse. The excavation revealed a small central 'hollow' (D 0.3m) containing the cremated remains of an adult and some animal bones. Some 0.6m to S was a short cist (WNW-ESE; L 0.65m, Wth 0.3m, H 0.55m) containing the cremated bones of an adult and a plano-convex knife. The monument was subsequently destroyed by quarrying.

• GA043-020 Burial mound
  Description

  In undulating grassland. Excavated in 1937 (Willmot 1939, 121-40), the monument then consisted of a low earthen mound (D c. 12m) with a cairn-like core. It was surrounded by a substantial rock-cut fosse. The excavation revealed a layer of charcoal and cremated bone in the centre of the mound, beneath which was an oval pit-grave (L 0.9m, Wth 0.7m) containing the cremated remains of a male adult accompanied by a small bronze knife or razor. Four secondary unprotected skeletal burials were found in the fosse at N, one of which was accompanied by a bronze locket and twelve bone beads. A slight grassed-over mound marks the spot.
