Polhill Anglo-Saxon cemetery
Polhill Anglo-Saxon cemetery is a place of burial that was used in the seventh and eighth centuries CE. It is located close to the hamlet of Polhill, near Sevenoaks in Kent, South-East England. Belonging to the Middle Anglo-Saxon period, it was part of the much wider tradition of burial in Early Anglo-Saxon England.
Small tumuli would have covered a number of the burials at Polhill. This is a larger example from Sutton Hoo in Suffolk.
