Fordcroft, Orpington is a Romano-British masonry building with associated Saxon cemetery in Kent. The site demonstrates the transition between Roman and Anglo-Saxon occupation in the region, with evidence of structured settlement and burial practice spanning these periods. The Romano-British masonry structures represent domestic or possibly agricultural architecture from the later Roman period, whilst the Saxon cemetery indicates continued use of the location during the early medieval period. The juxtaposition of these remains provides archaeological evidence for settlement patterns and cultural change during the collapse of Roman authority in Britain and the establishment of Anglo-Saxon communities in the fifth and sixth centuries.
