Description
A 2m square trench was excavated centred on the stone socket/setting, to reveal either the subsoil surface or the surface of the first significant archaeological horizon. Two pits containing inverted Collared Urns with cremations were found. The standing stone socket was found to be oval in plan, with a re-cut on the south side containing large packing stones, possibly in an attempt to prevent the stone from toppling as the stone had a significant lean to the south. One of the packing stones from this re-cut had damaged one of the Collared Urns. Bulk samples taken of two pit fills and urn fills. Photographic recording of reintstatement.
