A Romano-British cemetery was discovered in 1896 during the excavation of six trenches. Twenty human skeletons were found and they appeared to be huddled together, as though they were buried in a great hurry. It is thought that they may have been victims of an epidemic. Amongst the artefacts recovered from the site were a piece of amber that had been bored as if for wearing round the neck, a bronze ring and three Roman vases. Possibly part of a wider site (see also TR 36 NE 5).
