Possible Early Iron Age burial, south-west of Ropers Farm (EHER 11290)

Three Early Iron Age pedestal urns were recovered during the laying of a sewer pipeline in 1939 or 1940. They have been interpreted as an Iron Age burial. They may be contemporary with EHER 111260 which is a record for Iron Age bowls, which were recovered during the same event but from a different location.
