Full Description

In 1954 a small 'A' beaker was found whilst digging the foundations of a bungalow called 'Gavarnie' in Salisbury Road, St.Margaret's Bay at TR 36774482. It is profusely decorated on the neck with large square-notched geometric and incised herring-bone patterns. The body has zones of impressed circles bordered by notched lines. The beaker was restored by the British Musuem and is on display in Deal Castle Museum (Stebbing Collection). The beaker lay under an Early Iron Age level containing bones, burnt and chipped flints and pottery which had 'no Belgic affinities'.
