Over the whole of the bottom of the western part of the grave were traces of burning in the form of wood ash and soil reddened by heat. Two or three handsful of calcined bones were mixed with the burnt soil and ashes which were also distributed over the greater part of the E. end of the grave. Just beyond the edge of this burnt matter were the undisturbed bones of a human foot indicating the former presence of an inhumed body, which may have been destroyed at the time when most of the barrow was removed, or, possibly, Silburn may have made a small cutting into the centre of the barrow and found the inhumation. About 20\" from the east end of the grave a narrow trench was found, 30ft long, 2ft wide and 2 1/2ft deep. In the centre were traces of fire, the chalk rubble being burnt red and and mixed with charcoal (5).
