Description

{1} The deposits identified during this watching brief are identical to those that were seen in 1993. The concentration of the charnel around the modern services would appear to argue for their disturbance and reburial during re excavation of these service trenches. Stray human bone was found throughtout the layer (201) which is thought to represent cemetery soil but no articulated human bones or grave cuts were seen in the area examined by this watching brief. The roofs of two brick-built vaults, previously recorded, were seen in plan and left in situ. Site code: BKSP 97.
