Report on the excavation in 1999 and 2000 of a cemetery from which material had previously been removed during the late nineteenth century. A re-evaluation of this material and findings from a 1992 evaluation of the site are also incorporated. All or parts of forty-six Saxon inhumation graves and two cremation burials were recovered. A high proportion (72%) of graves contained goods, comprising weaponry (33%, including four swords); jewellery (13%) and high-status items including a bronze bowl filled with hazelnuts. The finds indicated a predominantly sixth-century date, with a range potentially extending from the late-fifth to late-seventh/early-eighth centuries. The cultural affinities indicate links with the South Saxons, with limited Kentish influences and sparse Anglian ones. While there was relatively good preservation of organic remains including textiles, horn, wood and skin/leather, the human remains were poorly preserved with small quantities of bone recovered from only 48% of graves. A Late Roman/early post-Roman inhumation burial, of plaster burial form, was found on the east side of the Saxon cemetery. A Saxon grave catalogue is accessible via the Archaeology Data Service website and the Surrey Archaeological Society website. Reports include: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
