Monument record TR 26 NE 1283 - Middle Bronze Age inhumation burials - Plateau 1, Thanet Earth

Summary

Two adjacent inhumation burials were aligned with but cut the terminus of one of the field system ditches. Both of the graves contained poorly preserved human remains, one was an adolescent female the other a male aged 25-30. The female was dated to 1498–1401 cal BC and it seems likely that both graves are contemporary with each other and the field system with which they are aligned and associated.
