Background to the Gazetteer | Table of Contents

Note that there may be a few slight discrepancies between counts given in the text and the returned results in the gazetteer. This is a result of corrections and amendments (not updates) made to the gazetteer since the research was published in BAR. This does not materially affect the picture presented but does add more detail.

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.
