An early medieval barrow, first excavated in 1848. An early medieval cremation burial and a number of grave goods were found. The finds included a bronze bowl containing the burnt human bones, two swords including one with a gilt mount, an iron spearhead, glass and amber beads and a part of a pendant set with garnet or coloured glass. The assemblage dates the barow to around the 7th century. The remains of the bronze bowl, the sword with the ornamented hilt, a peculiar knobbly annular brooch, an iron key, part of a brooch, perhaps of Roman type, part of the foot of a small square-headed brooch with a setting of red glass or garnet, two fragments of different glass beads, a fragment of cloth and a bronze object, all said to have come from this burial, are in Saffron Walden Museum. The precise location is unknown, asumption being within the old sand-pit, this places it on a west facing slope, below the brow of a ridge, that runs from Woodnesborough to Ash, adjacent to the Roman road.
