During the East Kent Access Route excavations (2009-2011) in zone 20 (east) ,a small Anglo-Saxon cemetery was discovered close to a large trackway. There were 5 inhumation burials aligned east-west although others may exist outside the excavation area. The graves were in general quite deep and in at least one case the body had been buried in a coffin. Four of the burials had grave goods, three accompanied by glass and other types of bead, in one case numbering almost 200 and belonging to a necklace. Other objects included a comb, copper alloy brooches of different types, a copper alloy ring, a ceramic spindle whorl, an iron spearhead and a knife, all probably of 6th – 7th century date.
