Branwen, thanks for taking the time for your as always insightful replies.
It's very intriguing that our ancestors dug so deep a hole for a burial.
I guess i figured that a well could have lots of votive type things pitched into it over it's lifetime of perhaps many years. A body being tossed in incidentally is probably just my macabre fanciful thinking!
But if it's certain that these holes were back filled immediately, thoughts of the after/Under world seem most likely.
Don't take too much time about it, but if you do come across any articles you find relevant regarding these Celtic shaft burials, please do post a link.
Best regards
