The Anglo-Saxon cemetery comprised a maximum of 219 individuals in 199 graves and 29 cremation deposits. In addition these were three probable charnel deposits and an empty grave. The cemetery is probably the wealthiest ever excavated in the upper Thames Valley. The assemblage comprised literally thousands of objects, some of which were rare or indeed unique within England. The associated grave goods suggest that the cemetery was in use from the mid or late 5th century until the late 7th century. The prehistoric remains comprised an early Bronze Age ring ditch, several cremations, a series of linear boundaries of late Bronze Age/early Iron Age date, a roundhouse, one 4-post structure amd a scatter of pits and post-holes. Roman activity was represented by several quarry pits, a large ditch orientated north-east to south-west, and several smaller ditches.
