Monument record IKL 026 - Mitchell's Hill; Marshal's Hill; Newdicks (Saxon)

Mitchell's Hill - see Bronze Age record for siting.

Inhumation cemetery with at least 27 graves and horse burial found (and ? partially excavated by J Warren & H Prigg) during sand/gravel extraction in C19.
1850-1854: Warren purchased objects from "men employed in raising stone from the hill on the left hand side of the road entering the village from Bury" ... "principally Roman" and "probably ... some Saxon interments ... as a few Saxon antiquities have been found". The site had been "called Marshals or Mitchels now called Newdicks" by the occupier. Details of finds in (S1). Note Warren collection sold to Evans and now in OXFAS, includes finds from numbered graves (? up to `XXV') & unknown graves, suggesting possible excavation (S2,S9,S3,S5).

1886: Prigg reports child burials associated with 2 small pots, and a large cruciform brooch and "an instance of horse burial came under my own observation in the Saxon portion of the cemetery" (not associated with human inhumation)(S4). Also see (S10) & (S11).
