Monument record TR 35 SE 51 - Iron Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon burials, Mill Hill, Deal

Summary

Mixed Iron Age, Romano-British and early medieval burials and cremations found at Mill Hill, Deal. Several Iron Age burials were found at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th. A number of finds were recovered including bronze spoons, brooches, a toilet set, an urn and a conical pot, all dating to the first century BC. Excavations since that time have discovered Roman cremations and Saxon burials accompanied by grave goods. Most of the finds were displayed at the Deal Castle museum. In 1988 an isolated Iron Age warrior burial was found. The male skeleton wore a crown and was accompanied by an iron sword with bronze and coral fittings, a bronze brooch and a shield
