What is recorded here

Ring-ditch in Glebe South held four cremation burials and small blue glass beads before development erased it. The ditch measured six metres across and sat seventeen metres south of its sibling, marking a crowded ancestral landscape now gone. Charcoal from one cremation dated to 360-90 BC, proving the site belonged to the Iron Age rather than legend.

One of two similar ring-ditches excavated (Licence no. 04E0680) in advance of development. Located 17m south of ring-ditch (DU005-138001-) this ring-ditch (6m diam.) contained four cremation burial deposits. Fourteen small annular blue glass beads and an unidentified iron object were found with one cremation and three small blue glass beads with another. An amber toggle bead was found in the upper layers of the ditch. Charcoal from a cremation yielded a calibrated radiocarbon date of 360-90 BC (Carroll et al. 2008, 126).
