Anglo-Saxon cremation vessel sherds found at Cherry Willingham, 3 miles east of Lincoln. Is the ‘post-Roman polity of Lincoln’ theory now questionable?pic.twitter.com/chfXfZGWez

> how much is there? Stamped pottery known from Cherry Willingham known since 70s, after all.. if it's a huge spread from an urnfield covering acres like Cleatham or West Keal, then that's exciting and intriguing, but if it's just a few pieces or part of a cremation element in >
Hard to know as the sherds come from limited excavation in 80s. Found close to the parish church (which itself sits on a curiously prehistoric looking mound). I agree the sherds are unlikely to be from a major crem cem though. Perhaps just one Saxon got over the fence :)
Ah, assumed these were new finds just reported to you! If just the old, then no, I'm distinctly unworried, as the sherds are already well-known and taken into account ;)
Iirc, the pottery is also thought to be later rather than earlier, 6thC, and although stamped not cremation?
