Enclosed cremation cemetery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Enclosed cremation cemetery is a term used by archaeologists to describe a type of cemetery found in north western Europe during the late Neolithic and early Bronze Age.
Enclosed cremation cemeteries are similar to urnfield burial grounds in that they consist of a concentration of pits containing cremated remains which have usually also been placed into pottery vessels. However they are also surrounded by a circular or oval bank and outer ditch[1] which gives them their name.
