With contributions from H. M. Appleyard, Elisabeth Crowfoot, Stuart Friedenson, Vera Friedenson, Brian Gilmour, Frances Healy, Catherine Johns, Graeme Lawson, Jacqueline I. Mckinley, D. F. Mackreth, Penelope Walton, Karen Wardley and P. T. Wilthew. The south-western part of this Early Saxon cemetery produced about 365 inhumations and 9 cremations. The bone preservation was poor, so that the burials were sexed almost entirely on the evidence of grave-goods. In two cases, individual inhumations were surrounded by ring-ditches, two other penannular ditches were found, and a square slot may have been the foundation of a timber building, related to the cemetery. The catalogue contains plans of each inhumation, with the positions of the grave-goods. These are described in Volume 1, but illustrated in Volume 2, as grave-groups.
