Monument record TR 36 NE 32 - Early-medieval burials found near Station Approach Road, Ramsgate

Summary

In the 1930s during road works and construction of a flower bed, a single Anglo-Saxon burial was discovered, reportedly accompanied by an iron knife and fragments of a vessel. The burial in the south west facing slope led to speculation that it is part of a larger cemetery. The site lies on the brow of a chalk spur, slpoping away to the north, east and south. OD 30-35m.
