Summary
A cremation burial was found at South Willesborough close to the banks of the East Stour. A complete inverted saucepan pot of coarse "Belgic" grog-tempered ware of middle Iron Age date was recovered close to a small concentration of Iron Age/early Romano-British pits. This pot measured 0.1m in diameter and was 0.15m deep and was removed intact. Within the pot were charcoal fragments and a small amount of cremated bone including tooth crowns. The bone was identifed as that of an infant thought to have died around the age of six months.
