Excavation (2 February 2012 - 8 March 2012)
NO 258 438 A programme of archaeological work was undertaken 2 February – 8 March 2012 prior to a proposed agricultural development. An evaluation consisting of the machine excavation of 26 linear trenches, totalling 1750m2, across the development area identified round and square barrows, and led to a secondary excavation. A total of five Early Historic barrows, consisting of two round barrows, a square barrow and a double square barrow were recorded. Skeletal material was recovered from four of the five burials. In addition five isolated pits were excavated. The features were generally sterile of artefacts, although flint and ceramic were recovered from one of the isolated pits.
