Dartmoor National Park in Devon features five hills, each taller than 1,950 feet. Cut Hill is both one of the most remote and one of the highest, coming in at 1,978 feet...
Amid challenging weather conditions, work began in August to retrieve the stone box, which measured about three feet on each side and was topped with three granite capstones. Inside the cist were substantial pieces of preserved wood. The wood appeared to have been worked into its shape, raising questions on its purpose and placement in the cist...
This isn't the first major find from the era in the park. In 2011, a team also found a cist on Whitehorse Hill at Dartmoor. That one, dated to about 1730 to 1600 BC, was about half the size of the newly discovered cist and contained the cremated remains of a young adult, along with additional grave goods. The remains were wrapped in a brown bear pelt fastened with a copper alloy pin.
Inside the tomb that was discovered this year, the team found 200 beads of fired clay, shale, amber, and tin, which likely formed a necklace. Other finds, including wooden studs that could have been worn in the ears, a flint tool, a bracelet of woven cow hair and tin studs, a basket, and additional fragments of textile and leather...
Experts believe the beads of the necklace showed that the local population at that time was far from being isolated, instead having some contact with a wider world and could acquire materials, such as amber, from as far away as the Baltic. The textiles, leather, and basketry also showed the skill in which objects were crafted, and the wooden studs for the ears hinted at how people used their appearance to express identities.

I’m confused. Was it about 3’ square and have wood in it? That article read like a Kalamabama speech.
There’s nothing confusing about the text.

Yikes. How far to the nearest Holiday inn?
I agree. That was a horrible read. I gave up too. It seems like it was written by DEI retard AI.
I think this is where we were.

No, you’re just a troll.
It’s easy to understand why AC Doyle set “The Hound of the Baskervilles” there. :^)
