Type and Period
Description
1972. Chance find during building works.
A male skeleton came to light during building work in the cellar of the Crown and Thistle public house.
The burial cannot be dated; however, the place-name of St John’s Cross and the medieval finds from the spoil heaps may suggest that it is 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>
