Monument record 0579500000 - TAPLOW MILL Site 1

The interim report of the Oxford Archaeological area excavation noted that six pits, two tree-throw holes and a grave were excavated. Pottery (Peterborough Ware) and struck flints were found in three of these features. The tree thows had sterile fills. A crouched inhumation of an adult male was excavated. The body was lying on its left side within an irregular oval grave, the grave had been truncated and the preservation of the bone was poor. The burial has been initially dated to the Neolithic. There were no associated objects and no trace of a ring ditch. Another of the pits contained a shed red deer antler, a bovine scupla and struck flints including four transverse arrowheads of later Neolithic date (B2).
