Long Barrow in Northamptonshire

"A Neolithic long barrow at Redlands Farm, Stanwick excavated by the Oxford Archaeological Unit in 1989. The barrow was orientated northeast-southwest, and was slightly wider at the northeast end. It measured circa 50 metres by circa 10 metres. When excavated the mound survived to a maximum height of 0.6 metres at the northeast end. The mound comprised layers of turf and tipped layers of gravel. A palisade trench surrounded the mound on three sides. Ploughing had damaged the southwestern end to such a degree that it was impossible to tell if the trench had continued right around the perimeter of the mound. The long sides of the mound were each flanked by a quarry ditch which lay outside the palisade trench. Both ditches contained waterlogged deposits, including some short sections of thin planking. At the southwest end of the mound was a stone-built cist, much disturbed by ploughing. Two fragments of human bone were recovered from it. At the approximate centre of the mound was a circular pit. Some bone fragments and limestone blocks suggest that another cist had once been present. A pit containing Peterborough Ware post-dates the mound. Towards the northeastern end of the mound were three Beaker inhumations placed in a line along the monument's long axis. Again, they had been damaged by ploughing. Finally, a few metres in front of the barrow's northeastern end was a group of 16 cremations of Middle Bronze Age date."
