Site Event/Activity record ECH2363 - Destruction of Glead Hill Cobb

In 1879, Mr. John Harrison, of New Pale, commenced levelling the site known as Houndslow, preparatory to building. The workmen discovered ten or twelve large urns, filled with burnt bones which fell to pieces on removal. The only survival was one of the smaller vessels, a food or incense cup. Further finds included three barbed flint arrow-heads, flint scraper, fragment of a flint knife and a bronze pin.
