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

So, these are the 1978–80 Cherry Willingham finds: more details here of the site — http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=MLI52864&resourceID=1006 … As already known, taken account of, & not a new major cem (which would've been fascinating!), I think can remain unworried for the post-Roman British kingdom of Lindēs ;)
Yes its from these unpublished 1980s excavations, so that HER entry is based on few lines in Lincs Hist & Arch
I borrowed them @collectionusher for today's Cherry Willingham LEB Archaeology exhibition and Adam spotted them!
Be great to get it written up/contexts for finds if Naomi Field gets time. Interesting site with metalworking too
The eternal issue with Lincolnshire Anglo-Saxon material, alas! One day Loveden Hill may be written up too, though English Heritage have reportedly lost the report prepared in the 90s... I seem to recall that there's more detail in the HER proper on the Cherry Willingham finds >
> beyond the LHA bits, as there is on Welton etc; I took photocopies of all the unpub Anglo-Saxon material in the HER a decade or so back when researching my thesis, though would need to hunt out the boxes now to check! :)
