Description
This is a detailed report on the Iron Age burial located during rescue excavations by the Dover Archaeological Group in Mill Hill, Deal, Kent between 1984 and 1989. Excavations revealed an extensive multi-period cemetery complex, other elements of which will be described in future publications. Mill Hill was intensively occupied by ancient people, and brooches and pots of Iron and Age and Roman date have been found previously. Many of these finds are re-examined and republished in the present volume. More than 500 individual archaeological features were found in the recent excavations; of these forty-two Iron Age inhumations, five pre-Roman cremations and a horse burial are examined in this book.
