Wetwang Slack

Wetwang Slack is an Iron Age archaeological site containing remains of the Arras culture and chariot burial tradition of East Yorkshire.

[4] The skeletal remains were in the centre of the barrow and were of a young adult female, facing right with her legs bent and her arms extended.

A soilmark shows the position of the complete dismantled chariot, beneath the individual, including its extended pole to which the yoke would have attached.

[5] English Heritage's chief archaeologist described this as "one of the most significant and exciting Middle Iron Age burials ever found in Britain".

As in the other burials, the body was placed on top of a dismantled chariot and was of a young adult, facing right with the thighs drawn up at right angles to the torso.
