Monument record WSW 002 - West Stow Country Park (Neo)

Multi-period site, Mesolithic to Medieval.
One stone axe (fragment, from Anglo Saxon hut, sectioned, greenstone)(S3), flint axes and flint tools, found all over excavated area generally.
Excavated ring ditch - circular ditch around central burial (crouched) with stone bead. In upper fill of grave was an unurned cremation and two flint 'tortoise' cores. There were a further 46 secondary cremations in or on the inner lip of the ditch along with a transverse and a leaf shaped arrowhead and flint fabricator. These flint associations are the main dating evidence for the burials, though two of the cremations had bone remains stained green suggesting contact with copper or copper alloy and therefore an (early?) bronze age date (S1)(S4, 9).
Large amount of other flints of Neo and EBA date, particularly transverse and oblique arrowheads in the general area of the ring ditch - details in (S4).
