That “Heritage Daily” site looks really cool. What an amazing find:
* 138 graves
* 141 inhumation burials
* 5 cremation burials
* Evidence of Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman activity.
* 2000 beads, 89 brooches, 40 buckles, 51 knives, 15 spearheads, 7 shield bosses * A bucket made from iron and wood.
* Two glass cone beakers were also uncovered intact

I saw a short clip on this dig on YouTube. I’m guessing that a longer report will follow. Looks like one of the largest Anglo Saxon cemetery found.
