HER 1128 - 6th century Saxon inhumation and cremation cemetery, Ewell
Excavations at Ewell House in 1930, 1932 and 1934, by Lowther, revealed numerous 6th century Saxon burials overlying a ditch of the Roman period. The cemetery included cremation and inhumation burials with a variety of Saxon grave furniture including spearheads, an umbo, undecorated urns and brooches. Five burials were properly excavated and others recorded as they were found. Two brooches, a skeleton, two spearheads, two urns, and an umbo (all Anglo-Saxon) held in the London Museum. In total eleven groups of burials were sited.
