Abstract:		 The evaluation was carried out in advance of a proposed equestrian arena in an area close to a known Anglo-Saxon cemetery, of which the limits had not been completely defined. A total of 43 certain or probable graves were encountered, including two cremation burials, rarely found in east Kent. Metal detector sweeps of all the unexcavated graves gave clear indications of grave-goods in some cases, although no attempt was made to excavate them. Post holes, ditches and gullies were also present at the site. The cemetery was thought to now contain well over 500 bodies. Pottery from the site produced a tentative date of AD 5th-6th century. It was suggested that the arena should be built over the cemetery, thereby protecting it. [Au(abr)]
