 No contemporary burials have been found at the site, although later Iron Age ones have since been found, along with a Saxon cemetery.Only seven similar gold "unstable handled cups" (unstable because round-bottomed) have been found in Europe, all dating to the period between 1700 and 1500 BC.The Ringlemere cup is most similar to the other British example, the Rillaton gold cup found in Cornwall in 1837.
