Updown Girl is the name given to the skeletal remains of a young Anglo-Saxon girl discovered at an early 7th-century burial site close to Updown House in Eastry, Kent, England. Although first found in 1989, the Updown Girl aroused new interest in 2022 when modern analysis of her DNA indicated she had some West African ancestry, with evidence suggesting her paternal grandfather or possibly her great-grandfather came from either the Esan or Yoruba population groups.[1][2][3]
