Full Description
<Ogilvie and Dunning 1967, 221>: A burial of the Belgic period was found in May 1962, about 2 ft. below the surface during the excavation of a sewer trench at Sholden, near Deal. The trench ran alongside the footpath from Sholden Street to Court Lodge Farm; the position of the burial was 110 yards east of Sholden Street. The group consisted of two pottery vessels; the larger was recovered intact, and the smaller was reconstructed from fragments.
The cremation had already been removed by the workmen before the pots were handed over. With the group were two bronze brooches, one nearly complete and the other fragmentary. The finds have been presented by the landowners, Messrs. V. C. and C. J. Mount, to Deal Castle Museum, where they are now exhibited.
The site is c. 1 mile north of the cemetery at Mill Hill, Deal. <1>
