Cemetery, enclosed within an earthen bank and containing several hundred skeletons, discovered during ploughing in May 1894. It had an internal clay wall 0.30 m x 0.56 m x 0.20 m deep. The skeletons, apparently all adults, young and old, lay north-south in rows on their backs, nearly touching each other. Scrapers and worked flints found amongst the bones but these were probably intrusive. Exposure was due to sand blow. Young's descriptions (1895, 1896) of the burial ground are conflicting making it difficult to locate it to either NJ139649 or NJ145647. A location of circa NJ145649 has also been suggested by the landowner, a site which does agree topographically with Young's sketch plan.
