Excavations at Eye Kettleby, near Melton Mowbray have revealed prehistoric activity spanning four millennia, from the Mesolithic to the late Bronze Age. A monumental landscape of ring ditches and enclosures emerged in the Early Bronze Age, later the site of a cremation cemetery, in use periodically over several centuries. In the late Bronze Age, two pit alignments marked a restructuring of the landscape with the establishment of a small settlement. An extensive radiocarbon dating programme has provided an unparalleled insight into the development of Bronze Age funerary practices in the region.

This monograph describes the remains of three closely related Bronze Age round barrows excavated during gravel quarrying at Cossington, Leicestershire. Together the three barrows offer an important addition to our understanding of the enduring significance of such monuments, not only for the original users, but for following generations.
