Type and Period
Description
1969. Chance find during sewer works.
Further work on the village sewerage scheme in 1969 (see also EHER 48348) recorded at least five inhumations, but there are no further details on these.
These burials cannot be dated; however, the place-name of St John’s Cross and the medieval finds from the spoil heaps may suggest that they are medieval in date (see EHER 83501). <1>
The location of the burials is marked on a sketch map on the back of the EHER sheet for EHER 4976. <2>
