Full description

A small beaker-shaped vessel, of rough red ware with one light neckline above continuous random stamping, found in association with an iron knife, fibula and glass and amber beads at Riby Park in 1915. The finds are from what was a small, probably 7th century, cemetery. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}{6}{7}{8}

Soldiers camping in Riby Park in 1915 encountered skeletons and an urn. Further skeletons were found a year later. All the burials were in flint gravel, between 0.46m and 0.60m below the surface. {9}

There are numerous cropmark enclosures in the area. {10}
