Abstract:		 TR 29755750 (approx). This cremation burial, discovered about 1845, is unusual in having been deposited in a bronze bowl, in late 6th cent Kent, where inhumation was the general practice. Nevertheless, several other burials of this type exist, eg at Loveden Hill and Martlesham Heath, the latter apparently containing, as this burial may have done, more than one person. The lone siting of the burial, near a pagan site at Woodnesborough, and the fact of its cremation suggest the cult of Woden. Like other burials of this type, it has an aristocratic flavour; the unburnt grave goods comprise the imported Frankish bronze bowl and tripod and glass vessels, fine tablet-woven twill, and coarse plain textiles, a fragmentary square-headed brooch, beads, and a magnificent ring-sword whose elaborate silver-gilt mounts exhibit animal ornament transitional between Styles and I and II. This also indicates close continental connections which, with the combined evidence of the grave goods and mode of burial, suggests deposition in the last quarter of the 6th cent. LW
