Probable Anglo-Saxon grave, part of N cemetery, northwest of Great Chesterford (EHER 83489)

Chance finds by gravel diggers at this location in early 1953 and prior to excavation, are probably an assemblage of Anglo-Saxon grave goods.

Gravel diggers found Anglo-Saxon artefacts prior to excavation in this area by Annable and Evison in February 1953. The finds are presumed to have come from one grave and are discussed together in source <1> as a grave group, attributed to Grave 65. They comprise a sword, spearhead, part of a shield boss, bronze bowl and a bronze-bound wooden bucket and are illustrated in this source. <1> Note: The precise location of the finds is not marked on the site plan in source <1>. The mapped location has been derived from the centrepoint of the cemetery, EHER 4939.
