Monument record TR 35 SW 37 - Early-medieval cemetery, Eastry House, Eastry
Summary
Early-medieval cemetery containing 2 recorded graves. An Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Eastry House, Eastry. In 1970 Mrs S Hawkes recorded a later 6th century female inhumation with beads, a silver pendant and a Gotlandic square-headed brooch in a pipe trench. Of bronze gilt, decorated with cloisons set with garnets, blue glass and shell, the brooch has a bow-disc ornamented by gold foil embellished with filigree, garnets and shell. This grave is on the opposite side of the road and some way North of previously recorded Anglo-Saxon burials from Eastry and probably marks the site of yet another cemetery. The site lies on the brow of a gentle north-east facing slope. OD 25m. Designated Eastry ii West.
