Monument record TR 34 SE 411 - Bronze Age Barrow with Secondary Burials and Anglo-Saxon Cemetery, Bay Hill, St Margaret's-at-Cliffe

Summary

The remains of a Bronze Age Round Barrow is recorded on OS maps and inhumations have been found since the 1920s when the barrow was first partly levelled. It was completely levelled in 1957. Excavations in 2004 revealed the ring ditch surrounding the barrow and uncovered later prehistoric burials which were interred into the partially silted ditch and in the area immediately to the east of the barrow. The 2004 excavations also revealed an Anglo-Saxon cemetery. Excavations in June 2014 ahead of the construction of a proposed dwelling revealed more of the barrow's ring ditch, a recut feature with placed deposits and Anglo-Saxon graves.
