8/700bc-100bc | An isolated burial of a contracted inhumation c1.2m deep in a pit or small cavity, associated with a series of objects that Whimster suggests implies a sword grave and one or more Aylesford culture cremations. These objects were: 4 bronze brooches of Colchester La Tene III form, a bronze brooch of Langton Down form, a large brass ring possibly for sword suspension, an iron shield boss found over the chest, a fragmentary iron object, and a large dark-coloured pottery vessel inverted and placed on fragments of a tile. |
