Description: | Grave 19 (In some records as Grave VIII). No remains, no burned matter or traces of burning. JP A small cutting with a single offering. The pit may have been for a simple child/infant inhumation, with the human remains totally dissolve or disintegrated. Another similar cutting, at right angles, probably from another burial. A further cutting, just to the south, roughly rectangular, oriented east-southeast to west-northwest, measured 0.95m in length, 0.53m wide, and 0.47m deep. The floor of the pit comprised unhewn fieldstones packed closely together. The pit yielded no evidence of human remains, but a few small sherds were noted, one classified "Geometric" (not inventoried), suggested that this too, may have been a robbed Early Iron Age grave. | |
