Full Description
From the original HER entry for Reculver Roman fort:
"Trenching in 1971 35 feet away from a caravan site sewage works, revealed a cremation burial with the remains of an early 3rd century beaker and some other pottery. Taken in conjunction with the report that one or more skeletons were found when the sewage works was built in the 1950s, this could have been a cemetery associated with the fort."
The trenching for the cable in 1971 found a cremation of early 3rd century date. No further information. (1)
