TR 061504, Godmersham: An Anglo-Saxon knife was found in 1974 protruding from the bank beneath the wall of the churchyard. It was identified by Miss Louise Millard and presented to the Royal Museum, Canterbury. On examining the site in 1975 a soil-filling hollow suggesting an old disused track was found: this contained fragments ofhuman and animal remains, apparently diliberate infill from a point now beneath the churchyard wall. Several sherds, four of which were from Romano-British coarse-ware vessels were found. The finding of the knife in these circumstances is probably due to a 10th century grave being disturbed by a later burial. (1)
