The 1857 Odnance Survey marks the site with the entry \"Urn with human bones found here\". Excavation revealed the presence of 60 pits and three cists. The knife (1) and a small bone pin (15) were found with a cremation under an inverted cordoned urn (10) in pit 26. The tanged blade (2) was found with a cremation under an inverted bipartite urn (11) in pit 25. The plano-convex flint knife (17) was found with a small chert flake (22) and a cremation under an inverted Collared urn (9) in Pit 35. The Accessory cup (12) was found with a cremation in Pit 7. Food Vessel sherds (6) were found with a cremation and a cockle shell (24) in Pit 24, and Food Vessel sherds (7) were also found in Pit 36 which contained a black deposit. The complete Food Vessel (8) was found in Cist II with a few skull fragments. An enriched phosphate level in the soil in this cist suggests the possibility that it may have contained an inhumation. Cist I contained the cremated bones of two individuals and a small burnt flint flake (18).

One sherd of Neolithic pottery (3) was found with a minute sherd of Beaker pottery (5e) in Pit 43 ; another sherd was found with sherds of Grooved Ware (4) and a wide range of Beaker sherds (5a-e) and sherds of indeterminate pottery (13) in Pit 51 with a splinter of a ground stone axe flaked into a scraper (20) some flint flakes and scrapers (19) a rod of chert (21) and hazel-nut shells (23), A few splinters of calcined bones were also found.

In addition Pit 38 also contained several burnt flint flakes and scrapers (18). The large bone pin (14) was found with part of a bone bead (16) in Pit 41 with a cremation.
