Full Description
[TR 36045112] Jutish Burial found [NAT] (1) In 1933, during the construction of a soak-away 10 ft from the S wall of the new Roman Catholic Mission Hall, Upper Deal, a male Jutish inhumation burial was discovered. The grave, cut into the solid chalk, was orientated almost E-W, and contained an iron spearhead and a thick-backed knife. In 1898 a female inhumation burial was found '500 yds NW of the Waterworks on Mill Hill' [i.e. close to the 1933 burial). It lay with the head to the NE and the grave goods included a small C6th silver gilt disc brooch, a long bead necklace, an iron buckle and an oval iron belt fitting ( possibly TR 35 SE 51). The finds from both burials are in the Deal Castle Museum. (2) Skeleton of an old man 6ft tall (see OS cards TR 35 SE 20 and TR 35 SE 51). (3) The site is described as a cemetery and listed. (4)
