Romano-British cremation cemetery and early medieval burials; found in 1838-9 on the banks of the Medway between Strood Church and Temple Farm. Most urns were in groups of 3 or 4 and some inhumations were also found. Grave goods included 600 coins dating between Antonia to Gratian, pottery including Samian and Upchurch ware, and a Medusa jet pendant, dating from c. AD 226-38, now in the Ashmolean museum. In 1848, two further burials were found. One contained an Anglo-Saxon spearhead and other weapons. Roman building materials had been used to fill this grave. Another grave found in 1852 had a rich assemblage of grave goods including a sword, spearhead, knife, shield, umbo, and a bronze cylinder, perhaps the lip of a drinking horn, with embossed figures of undoubted Christian character. Finds are now in the Rochester and Maidstone Museums. The site lies at the base of a gentle south-east facing slope, on the western bank of the River Medway. OD 5-10m.
