Description

In June 1971, the cutting of a sewer trench in the garden of Crown Cottages revealed a number of skeletons, a flint wall foundation and a large rubbish pit. A local archaeologist, F. Waightman, was informed, who in turn called in B. Hooper, who undertook an excavation of the burials and the pit.
