| Abstract: |
One intact double burial of the pagan Anglo-Saxon period and several disturbed burials were excavated. Three apparently later rectangular pits containing pig burials were also discovered. There is a report on `The skeletal material' by Corrine Duhig (24--32). The burials are thought to date from the first half of the sixth century and there is some speculation as to the location of the settlement they served. Gravegoods included amber beads, glass beads, an iron shield boss, studs, buckle, ferrule, spear head, knife, and latchlifter, a bone comb and spindle whorl, and bronze brooches and tweezers. Finally `Appendix A' (36--7) provides an artefact catalogue, `Appendix B' (37) a burial catalogue, and `Appendix C' (38) an outline of the site matrix. |
