Discovered prior to construction of the M1 motorway in 2000 (Excavation Licence 00E0430). A triangular pit (1m x 0.75m) filled with ash, charcoal, burnt clay and fragments of cremated bone. Postholes found around this pit were filled with the same material as the main pit. Situated immediately to the E of cemetery (LH024-054----) and just S of a ring ditch (LH024-062----) and Bronze Age enclosure (LH024-063----) and possibly associated with the latter two.
