EDO7721 - Antiquarian Excavation (pre-1950), Milborne St Andrew #16e-i

As the farmer told Durden he wasn't wanted, he didn't visit the site again until some 20 years later, when on Oct. 13th 1883 or 1884 he observed a large cairn of flints 4ft. 6in. in height, and extending 16ft. from east to west. At last his patience was to be rewarded, for beneath it he found remains of no less than 30 crushed urns, the larger ones covered with blocks of sandstone or fiint. They were all either on the floor, or on or surrounded by flints. Only one, no. 150, was inverted. He managed to save pieces of fifteen. Apart from the earliest urns which were destroyed, he recorded evidence for 47 interments <1>
