Anglo-Saxon Cemeteries

Burial in Later Anglo-Saxon England, c. 650-1100 AD
edited by Jo Buckberry and Annia Cherryson
Traditionally the study of early medieval burial practices in England has focused on the furnished burials of the early Anglo-Saxon period with those of the later centuries perceived as uniform and therefore uninteresting. The last decade has seen the publication of many important cemeteries and synthetic works demonstrating that such a simplistic view of later Anglo-Saxon burial is no longer tenable. The reality is rather more complex, with ...

The Anglo-Saxon Cemetery at Blacknall Field, Pewsey, Wiltshire
by F K Annable and B N Eagles
This meticulously researched monograph was commenced by Ken Annable who directed the excavation of the early pre-Christian Saxon cemetery in the Vale of Pewsey between 1969 and 1976. Following Annable's death the work was taken up by Bruce Eagles with the support of an international team of twenty-two specialists, many of them renowned in their fields. The 104 graves of the Blacknall Field cemetery contained a wealth of high quality and ...

The Anglo-Saxon Cemetery at Worthy Park, Kingsworthy, near Winchester, Hampshire
by Sonia Chadwick Hawkes and Guy Grainger, edited by E Biddulph and A Dodd

The Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Butler's Field, Lechlade, Gloucestershire: Volume 2 - Discussion and Synthesis
by Angela Boyle, Dido Clark, David Miles and Simon Palmer
This volume is the second to be published on the excavations undertaken by the Oxford Archaeological Unit at Butler's Field, Lechlade in 1985. The project was initially conceived as a small element in a larger project to investigate the prehistoric and Roman landscape in the Lechlade-Fairford area and the discovery of a substantial Anglo-Saxon cemetery was unexpected. Volume 1, published in 1998, discussed the prehistoric and Roman activity and ...

The Anglo-Saxon Cemetery at Shrubland Hall Quarry, Coddenham, Suffolk
by Kenneth Penn
The Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Shrubland Hall Quarry, Coddenham, was unknown until its discovery during investigation of an Iron Age site. The fifty Anglo-Saxon burials found were possibly the remains of a larger cemetery, extending an unknown distance to the west, the other graves being lost to earlier gravel extraction. While most of the fifty burials lacked grave-goods, or had modest accompaniments, several graves included elaborate grave-goods, ...

Wasperton: A Roman, British and Anglo-Saxon Community in Central England
by Martin Carver, Catherine Hills and Jonathan Scheschkewitz
The excavation report from a cemetery of 241 burials at Wasperton in Warwickshire, of considerable importance because of its more or less continual use from the 4th to 7th centuries AD. A sequence for burials is established, which builds up less a picture of sudden violent change or ethnic cleansing, more one of gradual change through dominant cultural influences from Rome, western Britain, East Anglia and Wessex. 372p b/w figs (Anglo-Saxon ...

The most significant discovery was an arc of substantial postholes which formed part of one of very few middle Bronze timber circles known in southern Britain. The most important earlier evidence was a Beaker burial containing a copper awl which is amongst the earliest metal artefacts from Britain. ...

Interrupting the Pots: The Excavation of Cleatham Anglo-saxon Cemetery
by Kevin Leahy
The Cleatham cemetery in North Lincolnshire is, with over 1200 cremations and 62 burials, England's third largest Anglo-Saxon cemetery. It was in use throughout the early Anglo-Saxon period from the mid-5th century to the late 7th century. Following full excavation, the site was analysed in detail and it proved possible to phase the 1204 inter-cut urns and a sequence of five phases was constructed. This phasing was also applied to the grave goods ...

Market Lavington, Wiltshire: Anglo-Saxon Cemetery and Settlement: Excavations at Grove Farm, 1986-90
by Phillip Williams and Richard Newman
The village of Market Lavington is located on a low greensand ridge at the foot of the north-west scarp of the chalk that forms Salisbury Plain. Rescue excavations in 1990 recorded an inhumation cemetery probably spanning the late 5th and 6th centuries and possibly extending into the 7th. The cemetery has provided an opportunity to examine burial practise in early Saxon Wiltshire and allowed an assessment of the structure of the social groups ...
