11 pits in a cluster of which 9 appear to be for cremation or cooking - probably
Bronze Age. Lots of cremated bone. One saucer shaped pit appears to have stakes in it as if was a charcoal kiln. No pottery or other significant finds.
Around 20 cremations in small, unlined pits. Each one is clearly visible with a dark,
charcoal rich fill and occasional burnt bone. No great quantities of burnt bone have
been found. One pit contains the remains of a complete pot (top truncated by
ploughing). Occasional large, sunken hearth-ovens. Many blobs of whitish silts
proved to be natural upwelling of water that had leeched the natural (silty-sand)
geological drift.
