What is recorded here
Two cremation pits excavated by Nikolah Gilligan (08E0910) and described as 'both containing the remains of an individual who was aged between 18-44 years at the time of death. One of the pits contained a sherd of prehistoric pottery which was initially thought to be Neolithic (Appendix 4). However, a date retrieved from one of the pits placed the site in the Middle Bronze Age (1323-1251cal. BC (UBA 11554).'
