Monument record TQ 75 NW 17 - Iron Age cinerary urns, pottery, and brooches from former Tassell's Quarry, Alllington

Summary

Iron Age cinerary urns were found in what was formerly known as Tassell's Quarry in 1860. Items in Maidstone Museum from Allington include bowls, urns, a cup, a large open dish, and fibulae. A burial group from this site is not likely to be earlier than the second quarter of the 1st century A.D. and the whole of the finds appear to be later than the beginning of the Christian era. Also in Maidstone Museum are pieces of 1st century A.D. Belgic and imported ware, and part of a possibly Romano British sickle.
