Monument record TR 16 SE 15 - Staines Hill, Westbere

Summary

A cremation and flint knife in an inverted collared urn was found in a gravel pit on Staines Hill pre 1866. Nearby were several heaps of burnt bones which also seemed to have originally been in urns. Workmen reported 'old pots full of bones' were often found. Several pieces of Roman pottery, including Samian, were also found but are possibly connected with the nearby Roman burials.
