Hi,
Very interesting read. According to another article I've found, archeologists from University of Reading in Dec' 16 dated the Montem Mount to between the 5th and 7th centuries. It is therefore likely to be a burial mound, of same era as the one in Taplow (early Saxon) It is likely to be the resting place of a high-status individual (a king perhaps?) and to contain artifacts. The Wood Lane site is under a mile from from Salt Hill.
The article states that "This area was conquered by Mercia in the early 7th century and probably under the dominion of a Kentish sub-King" = something you might want to look into.
