Observation and excavation by P M G Jones for SCC and Streeters Sand & Gravel in advance of gravel extraction. A crop mark noted by J N Hampton was located and found to be a hengi-form monument. It had two phases, provisionally dated early-mid Neolithic and later Neolithic, with two associated human burials and animal bone including a dog skull and several antlers. Other finds included a lump of red ochre and a considerable amount of pottery. Nearby features included two pits, one with waterlogged wood and peat. To the north, part of a double pit row was found, cut by gravel working earlier in this century; the length identified suggests a row over 250m long. A nearby peat area was tested and found to contain an alpine flora, probably dating to just after the last Ice Age (figs 4, 5).
