Monument record TR 15 NE 1572 - Roman cremations, Old Dover Road
Summary
In 1861 the Kent Archaeological Society excavated a badly recorded trench parallel to the Old Dover Road and inside the boundary wall of St. Sepulchres Nunnery, which they dug out and catalogued at least three Amphorae burials, and a number of other pots and finds. They also located a burnt clay feature which was interpreted as part of an ustrinum (funerary pyre).
