Field 8
• In southeast of the area a curvilinear feature-best interpreted as the southern part of a circular prehistoric monument, the majority of which lay beyond the excavation area to the south.
• To the northwest, at the opposite end of the excavation area:
a. An irregular, roughly circular cut 0.36m in diameter containing an early to mid- Bronze Age collared urn- human remains present
b. Approximately 0.2m north of the above burial lay a further sub-circular cut with a diameter of 0.56m.- 2nd cremation with human remains
c. a sub-circular feature 0.7m across and 0.47m deep cutting natural hillside deposits was filled with two deposits, the second of which yielded, well below the top of the intrusion, half of a broken Bronze Age polished battle axe with grooved shaft.
