Description
July 2006. Watching brief.
The sewer trench exposed the truncated remnants of three graves, which are assumed to be post-medieval or later. The remains of each grave lay beneath approximately 1m of disturbed ground (i.e. ‘grave-earth’) and were about 0.2m deep. The graves were aligned east-west and contained bones, but no coffins. It is assumed that the graves are 19th century or later. <1>
