Full Description
1942 to 1943. Found 2.1m down.
Possibly Early Bronze Age crouched burial found in ballast pit, while excavating with mechanical digger which destroyed it.
No sign of pottery or weapon.

Pit near road junction about 730m west of Sunderland Farm.

The above information needs to be checked.
The small wood which contains the site was seen from the outside alone by E. Rose (NLA) in May 2000.
The buildings shown on (S1), now derelict, are clearly war time concrete huts presumably connected with the airfield. Would they have been built around a ballast pit?
Or were they built subsequently?
E. Rose (NLA) 23 May 2000.
