Substation base 2 in the south-west corner of the site revealed four late Iron Age cremations (5ð8) which had been damaged by later ploughing (Fig. 3). All four cremations appear to have been buried within urns of which only fragments survive; all four had very similar fills of dark grey silty clay (55) with frequent bone and charcoal and some fired clay. Cremation pit 5 was irregular, 0.60m by 0.20m and just 0.04m deep with a single fill (55) which was sampled as two spits. Cremation pit 6 (Pl. 2) was better preserved, oval, 0.80m by 0.60m but still only 0.08m deep. Its very similar fill (56) was sampled in 4 spits. Cremation pit 7 was an irregular oval, 0.40m by 0.22m and 0.09m deep (3 spits) and finally pit 8 was almost square, 0.30m by 0.25m, with clear plough damage, and survived to 0.10m deep (5 spits). An unidentified iron object was found within cremation 6 and cremations 7 and 8 produced copper alloy objects which had been on the pyre, one of which was identified as a brooch (Bray 2014, 3).The remains of five individuals - four adult, one newborn - were recovered from the cremated remains. <1>
