Three graves, possibly of Anglo-Saxon date, were discovered during the construction of a gas pipeline in 1984. At least two of the graves had been previously disturbed and only fragments of bone were found. One of the graves was thought to be that of a small child. It is likely that these graves belonged to a single cemetery. Five graves were also previously discovered near this location during the a pipeline excavation in 1971: these burials may also form part of the cemetery. They were described as hurried burials without grave goods on a north south alignment. Despite the fact that no grave goods were found, the orientation, structure and and disturbance of these features are seen as evidence of an Anglo-Saxon date for the graves. It is also thought that the area may be associated with a settlement at Hoo approximately 800m to the south. The site lies on the brow of a gentle south facing slope, OD 30-35m, underlying geology chalk. The cropmark traces of five linear cuts aligned NNE-SSW thought to be graves associated with the above record are visible on aerial photographs: Next Perspectives APGB Imagery 21-APR-2007 and mapped as part of the Historic England Thanet Landscape Mapping Project 2024.
