A small cemetery of twenty-five graves was identified alongside the east side of the buried valley on Plateau 8 of Thanet earth. Overall, the cemetery occupied an area around 19.2m long by 12.5m wide, with one burial located slightly outside this zone. Given the high level of truncation in this part of the site, it seems likely that additional burials may have been entirely removed by ploughing, but the disposition of the graves suggests the bulk of the cemetery was exposed.

The grave cuts were generally very narrow, between 0.32–0.53m wide, only four, graves would have been able to comfortably contain a body. Where preservation allowed, it was clear that where possible the inhumations lay in an approximation of a supine or extended position. In many cases the legs were crossed, perhaps indicative of burial in a shroud (or of binding) with three examples of accompanying brooches that may have been used as fastenings. Coupled with the truncation by ploughing, generally poor soil conditions that further hampered preservation, only a small proportion of the graves contained a reasonably sized assemblage of human bone. On average, only 25–50 per cent of the skeletons survived. The overall demography of skeletal population was therefore difficult to fully quantify. Seventeen of the skeletons were adults, of which the majority were aged under 45 years. A single juvenile was identified and fragments from a child were recovered from the backfill of grave S12954. The remaining graves contained too little bone to establish an age. The identification of sex proved even more problematic, and was possible in relation to only ten of the burials. Of these seven were female and two male.
