The cist, 3 ft. 6 in. long, was constructed of ironstone slabs on one side and rubble on the other, with two slabs for the cover; it was roughly boat-shaped, and so might be compared with a larger early Bronze Age grave at Frocester, Gloucs. (Soldier's Grave, Proc. Prehist. Soc. iv, 214). With the skeleton was a large quantity of charcoal and ashes (cf. Mortimer, Forty Years Researches, xl, and a beaker burial at Cassington, Oxon., Antiq. Journ. xiv, 274).
