Title | Archaeological investigation at 6 Church Walk, Bozeat, Northamptonshire January 2011 |
Author/Originator | Chapman, A. |
Date/Year | 2011 |
Abstract/Summary
Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out a small scale investigation to define and recover human remains following the unearthing by builders of a human skull beneath the floor of a house undergoing renovation. Excavation recovered the in situ remains of two individuals, with associated disarticulated remains from further burials. The remains lay within graves aligned roughly west-east and consistent with the alignment of the adjacent graveyard. It is suggested that these burials had once lain within the south east corner of the churchyard, and that this area had later been taken into the property of 6 Church Walk, at the latest in the 19th century when the extension beneath which the burials were found was added to the existing building. A single sherd of pottery from beneath one of the burials is probably of medieval date.
