My Jewellery, My Story: John Thomas talk

Charnwood Museum is hosting John Thomas of the University of Leicester Archaeology Services for a talk describing the results from excavations of round barrows at Cossington.

“Round barrows were important burial monuments for the Bronze Age communities that built and used them, but what happened to them in later times? Fascinating evidence from three barrows excavated at Cossington gravel quarry has shown that they were also a focus of activity for later communities, who were attracted to the ancient earthworks to make offerings and bury their dead. John Thomas will describe the results of the excavations and examine why the barrows maintained their local importance centuries after their original use.”
