ABSTRACT A recent argument that the surviving masonry of the late Saxon chapel at Bradford-on-Avon was left unfinished by its builders is challenged.

The possible implications of a cist-burial excavated outside the west end of the chapel are

ABSTRACT Excavations in 2014–15 in the vicinity of Bucklow Hill revealed two clusters of cremated human remains, one focused on a ring-ditch, the other on a similar but destroyed monument.

A programme of radiocarbon dating revealed the earliest human remains in both clusters to be Early Bronze Age, with burial continuing episodically until the Middle
