Summary
A number of cremation burials were excavated during the Thanet Earth investigations. These were mostly un-urned, indicating a pre-Roman, probably Bronze Age provenance and were concentrated in the north part of the area. there were 7 on plateau 1, three on plateau 3 and two more on plateau 6. Most of these appear to be associated with small pits containing depositions of an apparently ritual nature. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
