An inhumation burial with a ribbed bracelet and two bronze armlets, was found in a chalk-cut grave at Hollicondane, between Ramsgate and Dumpton, in 1891, (1) and another skeleton with four bronze armlets was reported from the same place in January 1896. (2) Nearby, in 1929, a Deverel-Rimbury type urn (not cinerary) with three Picardy bronze pins was found when foundations were being dug for the Biological Laboratory at St. Lawrence College, Ramsgate. (3) All the 1891 and 1929 finds are Late Bronze Age and the area, now largely built over, may have been a L.B.A. settlement. (1-3)
Find of urn and pins sited to TR 3794,6607 but no information was gained during fieldwork as to the exact site of the 1891 burial. The suggestion that these discoveries denote a settlement site is borne out by the general topographical position, i.e. a small spur facing south. (4)
A solid armlet with engraved decoration from an inhumation in Ramsgate is in the British Museum Acc. No. 1916, 10-14, 2. (5)
At Ramsgate, Kent, an inhumation burial in a carefully dug grave in chalk was accompanied by a bronze ribbed wristlet and two penannular brooches decorated with a zoned pattern of traced ellipses. (6) The information can be gleaned from authority (3). (7)
