[TR 37175015]. In 1886, during the building of a new church at Walmer, an ancient trench, at least 50 feet long and 6 feet deep, lying E-W, was discovered. Near the bottom, two skeletons were found. An Upchurch pot was also found, and Belgic sherds from the site were presented to Deal Corporation. Mentioned as a Roman cemetery (3). [This site is probably the same complex as TR 35 SE 14 at nearby St Mildred's]. (1-3) The Revd Raymond Walker-Heath, incumbent of St Mary's parish church, Walmer, states that nothing further has been discovered to his knowledge, since the building of the church. No finds from this site could be traced in the local museum. (4)
