In 1959 when the foundations for 'Fairbrook' 65, Sea Road, Westage were being dug, 3 inhumations, orientated approximately E-W were found in shallow graves the infilling of which contained a large amount of SE 'B' occupation material including haematite ware. All the sherds found are in the possession of Mr F Jenkins (a) who inspected the site. The site of the graves, under the SW corner of the house at TR 32157018, was pointed out by the gardener.
