Well, there'd still be the linguistic/place-name evidence, the 5th-6thC church in the forum with reexamined C14 dating that confirms pre-7thC date, the textual refs and other similar evidence, so I'd say no, but we might need to rethink the meaning of the crem cems... However, >
> 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?
