Monument record TQ 55 NW 36 - Romano-British cemetery, C1st to C4th (?), Frog Farm, Otford, Sevenoaks

Summary

Romano-British cemetery. The cemetery has produced more than 100 cremation burials. A possible northern boundary of the cemetery has been identified and excavation to the south found no trace of the cemetery which allows a tentative boundary to be identified in that direction. No definite limit has been found to the cemetery to east or west. Pottery mostly dates to the C2nd. Accompanying burial goods such as food vesels, platters, brooches, spoons, etc. were also found, as were 25 coins ranging from the C1st to C4th.
