Abstract:
In 1891, an Anglo-Saxon cemetery was found on the south-west edge of Lewes. Thirty-two or 33 inhumation burials were excavated over a period of several months. They were found in shallow graves about 18 inches deep, cult into the chalk subsoil. Most of the skeletons were oriented east-west, with one or two exceptions. The majority were supine. A large proportion of the grave-goods were weapons, although female ornaments were also found. The material from this site has never been fully described, and is now published for the first time.
