A group of eleven Middle Bronze Age barrows at Stoxton/Great
Ponton recognised by D.W. and R.C. Haw and E. Greenfield in
1959. One, in Stoxton parish, which was being destroyed by
ironstone working in 1959, was excavated by Greenfield for the
Ministry of Works. A primary cremation in a collared urn and
eighteen secondary cremations were discovered.

Four more barrows all in Stroxton parish, were excavated before
destruction, and one of these yielded a Food Vessel. Two had
secondary cremations.

The surviving barrows in Great Ponton. [`B', `C', `F' `G', `H']
and one of those in Stroxton [at `A'] are scheduled (3-4).
[Barrows destroyed are therefore `D', `E', `J', `K', `L']. (1-6)

`A', `B', `C', `F', `G', `H' These mounds have been ploughed over
and are now under crop. THey are visible only as slight ridges
that do not exceed 0.05m in in height. There is a similar mound
at `M' (SK 8896 3011).

The manager of the adjacent ironstone workings knows of no
finds, other than those recorded from the M.O.W. excavations
which are now in Grantham Museum. (7)
