Monument record TQ 96 SW 27 - Romano-British burials; early medieval cemetery, Eurolink Way, Sittigbourne

Summary

Roman burials and Anglo-Saxon inhumation cemetery found at Huggins Fields, (Fair Meadows), in 1824. It is possible that Buckelurnen had been found at the site pre-1924. Further inhumations were excavated in 1826 bringing the toatl excavated to circa 50. In 1828, urns containing bronze axes were found in a field circa 140 yards from the inhumations, suggesting that the buckelernen may have been Bronze Age cremations. The site lies on a gentle north-west facing slope,OD 5-10m.
