Preface:

Barrow excavations in the Netherlands.

For many centuries past, the regulair round hillocks often found together in groups in the highter sandy regions of the Netherlands have attracted the attention of antiquaries. That they have not been made by nature, but by hand of the man and that they represented the tombs of earlier inhabitants of these regions.

The Dutch Cordoned cinarary urns of the Middle and Late Bronze Age.

The name ‘Deverel urn’ has been frequently used above to describe vessels, containing cremations, which are secondary interments in round barrows with timber circles of types 3-8. This name, introduced by Lord Abercromby (1912) derives from the cinerary urns which W.A. Miles discovered in 1825 in the Deverel Barrow in Dorset, England. Abercromby grouped them with the urns from the flat cemetery at Rimbury, in the same county, as the Deverel Rimbury type.
