Full Description
A possible Bronze Age barrow was identified in the southwest corner of the development site
during the magnetometer survey, on a raised area of ground. However no remains were found
during excavation, suggesting that the feature had been truncated completely by historic and
modern ploughing of the area from medieval times onwards. Fragments of a collared urn
with corded decoration were recovered by volunteer metal detectorists scanning the topsoil. It is quite possible that these fragments were originally associated with the putative barrow.
