Excavations at Lechlade Memorial Hall revealed Late Neolithic pits and the remains of an Early Bronze Age barrow, with a high-status ‘dagger-grave’, along with other prehistoric burials. Numerous later prehistoric pit alignments and other boundaries were also present. Two Saxon ‘grubenhauser’ dwellings possibly represented part of a settlement related to the Butler’s Field Anglo – Saxon cemetery.
