A pit burial was uncovered during ploughing at Lower Ash Moor farm in 1978 and excavated by Central Excavation Unit. A pit 65cm deep and 55cm diameter contained ash and charcoal, and an urn 29cm high containing the cremated bones of one adult human. The whole was covered by a capstone. The urn was undecorated with a simple everted rim. Charcoal from the pit gave a carbon 14 date of 1030 +- 70 uncalibrated. There was no suggestion of a barrow mound. The urn, capstone and contents are now in Exeter Museum. Other details: Drawing.
