Monument record TQ 94 SE 8 - Site of Romano-British burials, Potters Corner

Summary

A Roman burial was discovered in 1929 during works to widen the Ashford-Maidstone-London road. Thought to be a cremation burial this find included a small whitish urn, another small urn, an inkpot, a cup of Samian ware and eighteen gold coins or discs. It has also been suggested that this burial may have formed part of a larger assemblage of old pots which were tipped down the bank near where it was found, from an adjacent house called 'Woodside'. This however seems unlikely as the pots were found unbroken along with a heap of burnt bones.
