During the East Kent Access Route excavations (2009-2011) an Anglo-Saxon cemetery was discovered in zone 19. One of two, the southern cemetery consisted of 16 graves altough it may have extended beyond the excavated area. The graves were all aligned east-west primarily with their heads to the west. There was a relative lack of grave goods compared to the Anglo-Saxon cemetery located c. 100m to the north-east although this may be due to robbing. One burial, however, contained a finger ring, chain, silver brooch, and other iron objects while a second had an iron shield boss. In another a bone comb lay on the head. The grave goods suggest a 6th century date though possibly extending into the 7th century. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
