A Romano-British cremation cemetery was discovered while planting fruit trees in 1892 about 320m(350 yards) to the south west of Holy Trinity Church. The cemetery contained 13 graves of urns, some with burnt bones inside, arranged in no particular order. Four samian dishes had been buried with a flat tile covering them. A samian cup, Upchurch ware, and coarse pottery with iron hob nails were amongst the finds dated 1st - 4th c. AD.The orchard has since been built upon. Finds are kept at Maidstone Museum.
