Full Description
TR 303 544 An Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Eastry. Four burials were found about 0.5 mile W of the main cemetery site. One, oriented NE-SW and accompanied by a small iron knife, was discovered in the face of a chalk-pit in the garden of a house in The Mill. Three further unaccompanied burials, similarly oriented were found 100 yds to the S, suggesting a large cemetery. Possibly not part of the Eastry community, but the site of an adjacent settlement. (see also TR 35 SW 1, TR 35 SW 32, TR 35 SW 37). (1) Additional reference (2)
