| Find |
In 1927 a pit dug into the red clay was located at Burlesdon Brickworks. Excavations revealed about twenty Bronze Age loom weights in four different sizes, discovered at a depth of about seven ft. Further down the pit a fragment of saddle quern and a layer of charcoal were found. In 1928, further excavations revealed at about seventeen ft., an oak post five ft. high, supported on a clay cone, and coated with a dark brown substance which proved to be blood subjected to heat, though the post was not charred. Two pot-boilers and the remains of a basket were also found. A Neolithic axe of Cornish Greenstone was found near the pit; this is now in Winchester Museum. The pit is now disused and overgrown.
