C14 Radiocarbon Dating - Sample - I-6113

Wood (seemingly not oak) charcoal from a timber c 15cm in diameter from the SW end of the Phase 2 mortuary enclosure under a stone-revetted earthen long barrow. This measurement conflicts with SRR289 (4660 +/-50 BP) from the same piece of wood, and SRR290 (4535 +/-55 BP), and may be anomalous.
