The position of the skull suggeststhe burial was aligned S-N and possibly lay on its side facing east. An iron nail lay adjacent to the skull, possibly from a coffin.

Seventeenof the burials contained grave goods, including knives, spearheads,shears, shield bosses,buckles and fittings for a wooden casket. The grave goods suggest a seventh-century date for the cemetery. Four burials contained wood stains indicative of coffins or planks within the grave. Skeletal preservation was poor and body position could only be determined for one burial, which was supine with one leg flexed and the other extended. It was also difficult to determine the orientation of the body within the grave, but the majority of graveswithin the cemeterywere either aligned west-eastor north- south.

In one barrow, a secondaryinhumation was found accompaniedby a knife, a shield boss, a pot, animal bones- including a dog, and a flint arrowhead and flint flakes.

One of the barrows was found to contain a crouched inhumation burial, presumedto be a primacy interment.

A bronze pin, some sherd of pottery, some ochre beads and horse teeth were found in associationwith the burials.

The third barrow (according to Dickinson's numbering) was found to contain an inhumation burial, presumedto be a primary interment, accompaniedby a bronze buckle, 2 spearheads,a group 7 shield boss and two knives.

All the graves were furnished, burials with grave goods including brooches,spearheads, knives and buckles. The remaining were cremations, with one urn containing fragments of a burnt comb.

Many of the inhumations were accompanied with grave goods including swords, spearheads,brooches, buckles, tweezers,beads and spindle whorls. A further inhumation, accompaniedby beads,was found in 1893. In 1912, excavationsconducted by Newbury Museum on either side of the railway uncovereda further 26 or 27 burials. The burials were orientated with their headsto the west or south-west.Most of the inhumations were supine often with flexed legs and their heads resting on flints or chalk ledges. Again grave goods were found with the majority of the burials, with many of the fords similar to those found in 1889-90.The grave

    Geophysics in the Minster Environs, Warminster, Wiltshire, 2014. Mat Charlton and John Oswin with contributions from Mark Corney Bath and Camerton Archaeological Society & Artefact it Ltd i Abstract As part of the Warminster Heritage Lottery project, a number of geophysical surveys using resistance and magnetometry techniques were conducted on various sites in the northern portion of Warminster town in Wiltshire, the research aim being to search for signs of occupation pre-dating the development of the mediaeval market town. The survey would also look for any possible church buildings away from the present minster church, which is predominantly a Victorian rebuild? The sites were the only open spaces available, but those of any size were in use as school playing fields, which had undergone grading and so rearranged the topsoil. Nonetheless, there were a number of indications of possible earlier settlement, although these appeared to be prehistoric rather than pre-Norman. These could be on dry terrace or right down on the flood plain of the Were Stream. Limited surveying close to the church and observation of architectural features, suggested that any previous Minster church was most likely to be under or very close to the present church.

  • Settlement Hierarchy and Social Change in Southern Britain in the Iron Age
    SETTLEMENT HIERARCHY AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN SOUTHERN BRITAIN IN THE IRON AGE BARRY CUNLIFFE The paper explores aspects of the social and economie development of southern Britain in the pre-Roman Iron Age. A distinct territoriality can be recognized in some areas extending over many centuries. A major distinction can be made between the Central Southern area, dominated by strongly defended hillforts, and the Eastern area where hillforts are rare. It is argued that these contrasts, which reflect differences in socio-economic structure, may have been caused by population pressures in the centre south. Contrasts with north western Europe are noted and reference is made to further changes caused by the advance of Rome. Introduction North western zone The last two decades has seen an intensification Northern zone in the study of the Iron Age in southern Britain. South western zone Until the early 1960s most excavation effort had been focussed on the chaiklands of Wessex, but Central southern zone recent programmes of fieid-wori< and excava­ Eastern zone tion in the South Midlands (in particuiar Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire) and in East Angiia (the Fen margin and Essex) have begun to redress the Wessex-centred balance of our discussions while at the same time emphasizing the social and economie difference between eastern England (broadly the tcrritory depen- dent upon the rivers tlowing into the southern part of the North Sea) and the central southern are which surrounds it (i.e. Wessex, the Cots- wolds and the Welsh Borderland. It is upon these two broad regions that our discussions below wil! be centred.

  • Signalling and Beacon Sites in Dorset
    THE DORSET DIGGER THE NEWSLETTER OF THE DORSET DIGGERS COMMUNITY ARCHAEOLOGY GROUP No 43 December 2016 Signalling and Beacon Sites in Dorset Richard Hood has kicked off this new project. He needs somemorevolunteerstohelpwith the research Introduction The ability to send or receive a message over a distance to warn of impending attack has been used to mobilise troops for defence since the Roman times. The Romans developed a system using five flags or torches to carry a simple message over short distances. This was usually used in battle to pass information out to army commanders. To carry a simple message further, a bonfire was used set on a high point, usually from a mini fort within vision of one or more other sites. This type of warning system was used during the invasion of Britain, when vexation forts could come under attack from tribes yet to be persuaded of the advantages of Roman living. Near the end of the Roman occupation signal stations were employed on the East and South coasts to warn of Saxon pirates. Roman signal stations on the NE coast of England took the form of mini forts, with a ditch and bank for defence. Black Down in Dorset, excavated by Bill Putnam and re examined by Dorset Diggers in 2016 is of this type. The Saxons appear to have had a system of inter divisible beacon sites to warn of Viking attack from the ninth century onwards. Later, beacons were erected to warn of the approach of the Spanish Armada, followed by a similar, but unused system, to warn of Napoleonic invasion.

  • Chaddleworth Housing Needs Survey Report
    REPORT on the HOUSING NEEDS SURVEY HUNGERFORD February 2007 Arlene Kersley Rural Housing Enabler for Berkshire Contents Report Summary 1 Background 2 Housing Need Survey - Method 6 Survey Findings 7 Conclusions and Recommendations 17 Appendices 1. Comments 19 2. West Berkshire Council Policy HSG.11 29 Provision for Affordable Housing on Rural Exception Sites 3. Housing Need Questionnaire 31 Report Summary Housing Need in Hungerford This survey was conducted at the request of the Town Council in response to concerns raised during the Hungerford 2010 consultation about the need for affordable housing for local people in Hungerford. The survey was commissioned in order to identify whether there is any actual need for affordable housing in Hungerford. A brief summary of the findings follows. Survey forms were distributed to all households in Hungerford and there was a 28.7% return This represents an excellent rate of return for such a large community. From the responses the following can be determined: • There is a high level of support for developing a scheme of affordable housing to meet local need (over 70% of responses). • 107 respondents completed Part 2 of the Survey indicating some level of housing need • Of these 65 represent affordable housing need (8.7% of response). • The need is mostly for smaller 1 bedroom properties, but there is a significant need for 2 and 3 bedroom properties as well. Flexibility in design to accommodate growing families is essential. • A large number of potential sites for development have been identified. Some of these would not be acceptable in planning terms. • Any potential development must take into consideration the Hungerford 2010+ Town Plan recommendations.
