Archaeological excavations of the 1970s uncovered a Bronze Age ring ditch and a pagan cemetery containing at least 30 burials and 4 cremations dating to the Saxo-Jutish period.

Discovery of artifacts

While the acidic soil had consumed the skeletons, faint black stains outlining their presence were discovered, alongside numerous pieces of metalwork.

Save your steps

This site is now a car park and so we recommend you visit The Red House Museum’s exhibit (Floor 1) on this fascinating dig.
