Description: | PRN 60365
In a gravel pit, a little to the north of this village and about a quarter of a mile from the Carr Dyke, ten skeletons were recently [1872] found aligned in a north to south direction. The skeletons were within two feet of the surface and a portion of conglomerate quern and three small vases of dark grey Durobrivan pottery were found with them. {1}
The gravel pit is probably that at the Whyche where recent finds of a beaker and beehive quern have been made [1930]. The quern appears to comprise an upper and lower stone. One has a feed hole and a handle recess, and the other has a one inch deep hole on the flat side. {2}{3}
In 1964, Seamen enquired with several old residents about the location of the skeletons. This revealed that Phillips' deduction is correct. The pit was filled in and built over; but the present location of the finds was not ascertained. {3} | Subjects: | General Archaeology | Temporal: | 43 - 409 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
