THE skeletal remains hereunder described were unearthed by soldiers in
constructing some trenches on the Downs just off the main Dover Road at
Ileden. Canons R. U. Potts and J. W. S. Tomlin, and the writer, examined
the site on July 5th, 1944, but no evidence remained of the grave which
had been completely destroyed before notice of its discovery reached Canon
Tomlin.
