Full Description
{1} Human remains were discovered during groundworks for a garden shed. The bones were not modern (absence of dentistry and signs of high tooth wear). One articulated adolescent was identified, articulated parts of a second of inderterminate age, with disarticulated remains amongst spoil, indicating a third or more individuals. All appeared aligned east-west, with head at west. Natural geology is shattered ironstone and very destructive of bone, which was degraded. The householder was encouraged to stop digging and cover the remains to preserve them in situ.
