Monument record IKL 029 - Bronze-Age cemetry and inhumation.

After deep ploughing in January 1953 revealed black soil patches, the ploughman (? Mr S Wiseman), partially excavated "Site A".
Grace Briscoe continued excavation of upturned collared urn and cremation, sherds of "a small accessory vessel and a lump of slag" (?)(S1). "Site B": 12 ft NW of site "A", a black patch of soil covered a hollow in the chalk containing "a flexed skeleton on its right side facing NE - probably a boy of circa 11 yrs - no grave goods".
"Site C": 73 ft NE of site "A" "a further black soil patch, 3 ft by 2 ft, two-thirds in a chalk hollow", contained "sherds of food-vessel type, charcoal and a scrap of bone", "burnt chalk and stones and some powder which was possibly decayed bone".
"Site D": 36 ft NE of site "A" a further patch of black soil but no finds `of interest'.
"Site E": 9 ft NE of "A" "black patch with a small piece of bone, underlain by patch with morepieces of cranial bone, almost certainly from an inhumation". Also dark grey `rouletted' sherd.
Briscoe suggests probable site of ploughed out barrow (S1)(S4)(R1). Note close to How Hill (IKL 001). Further information in Briscoe archive.
