Observed during groundworks at Hawkinge abandoned RAF airfield prior to the construction of the new Hawkinge Primary School. In the extreme north-eastern section of the Romano-British ditch (TR 23 NW 242) there was a small group of four smashed pottery vessels. They were originally placed side by side, now very fragmented (197 pieces) and showing signs of surface destruction from the acidic soil. The typology of the vessels is as follows, a) Central Gaulish Samian platter, b) an "s-shaped" small jar, c) fine grey "poppy-head" beaker of Upchurch ware, d) a hooked rim burnished pie dish. There was no cremated bone found with the vessels, however this may be because the acidic nature of the soil has destroyed any evidence of burnt bone. The combination of closely dated vessels grouped together in the upper filling of a ditch probably represents a classic isolated cremation burial, interred during the early to mid second century AD.
