SUMMARY:Death and Burial in Bronze Age Clitheroe
DESCRIPTION:In 2018\, a Bronze Age burial site was discovered on the outski
 rts of Clitheroe during the construction of a new housing estate. The crem
 ation urns are currently on display at Clitheroe Castle Museum\, offering 
 a rare opportunity to reflect on early Bronze Age burial practices.\n\nNin
 e cremation burials were found in the centre of the site which was enclose
 d by a ring ditch. It was possible to use radio-carbon dating on seven of 
 the cremations which date from between c.1915 -1620 BC\, during the early 
 Bronze Age.\n\nIt is likely that the burial site was associated with a sma
 ll settlement in the area and that the group were engaged in farming. This
  idea seems to be supported by the recovery of an offering of more than 20
 0 grains of barley in one of the burials.\n\nHigher Standen Farm was excav
 ated by Archaeological Research Services Ltd. The exhibition is based upon
  their excavation of the site and analysis of the material recovered\, whi
 ch gives us a fascinating glimpse into the prehistory of Lancashire.\n\nTh
 e exhibition was designed and curated by Lancashire County Museum Service'
 s Collections &amp\; Conservation Team.\n\nEntry to the exhibition is part
  of museum admission. Adults £5.20.  Any visitors 18 years or younger go
  free.\n\nClitheroe Castle Museum is managed by Lancashire County Council'
 s Museum Service on behalf of Ribble Valley Borough Council.
