King Arthur’s Round Table, Eamont Bridge, Cumbria
In 1937 the philosopher Robin Collingwood excavated a henge monument in Cumbria and identified the postholes of a series of timber buildings, which he compared with those at other sites. These structures at Eamont Bridge were replaced by a stone circle. He planned to continue the work for a second season, but was prevented by illness. His project was completed by the famous German scholar Gerhard Bersu, who concluded that many of the features ide…

An Investigation Into Diet at the Site of Yarnton, Oxfordshire, Using Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotopes
This paper reports the results of stable isotopic analyses conducted upon animal and human bones recovered from Yarnton, Oxfordshire. Spanning the Neolithic to Saxon periods, it is in many ways a typical site, but is unusual in that a small Middle Iron Age cemetery was discovered. All of the data presented here lie within the expected isotopic ranges for the European Holocene, although both faunal and animal δ 15 N values are higher than is commo…
Anglo-Saxon and Earlier Settlement near Drayton Road, Sutton Courtenay, Berkshire
Since E. T. Leeds' excavations of the Anglo-Saxon settlement at Sutton Courtenay in the 1920s and 1930s, aerial photographs revealing large timber buildings, as well as finds of metalwork and coins have suggested that the settlement was more extensive and of higher status than Leeds had imagined. This report reviews this evidence and describes the results of fieldwalking, geophysical survey and small-scale excavation which have provided further d…
The Crow Down Hoard, Lambourn, West Berkshire
The discovery of a hoard of five middle Bronze Age gold objects during a metal‐detecting rally on the Lambourn Downs in 2004 precipitated an archaeological investigation into their character, provenance and context. This article describes the objects themselves, their composition, how they were made and their archaeological background. It also reports the result of forensic archaeological work undertaken on them. The parallels for the objects and…

Iron Age inhumation burials at Yarnton, Oxfordshire
Radiocarbon dating of unaccompanied skeletons discovered during the excavation of an Iron Age, Roman and Saxon settlement at Yarnton, Oxfordshire, unexpectedly revealed the presence of a middle Iron Age cemetery (3rd or 4th century cal BC). British Iron Age burials before the 1st century BC are usually found as individuals, often in pits on settlement sites, or are repersented by disarticulated human bone. This paper explores whether cemeteries w…
A line of time
Since the 1970s large‐scale archaeological projects have been undertaken in the Upper and Middle Thames Valley, driven by development pressures and strongly influenced by the evidence of aerial photographs, most of which have been of the higher gravel terraces where cropmarks are most prolific. These sites have, however, usually suffered heavily from ploughing; water‐logged deposits, occupation horizons and buried soils are rare. In contrast, the…
