What is recorded here

A multi-phase ring barrow (external diam. c. 13.2m), with a centrally placed cremation contained within a pottery vessel, was uncovered here in 2000 prior to construction of the M1 Motorway (Excavation Licence No. 00E0429). The ditch (max. D c. 1m; Wth 1.9m) displayed three distinct phases of activity and at least six token cremations were discovered in the SE quadrant of the final phase.
