In 1985 rescue excavations on part of the site now occupied by the headquarters of Esso Petroleum PLC revealed 33 inhumation burials. These were found to belong to two groups and were either of pagan Saxon type or were the graves of people executed, probably in the late Saxon period. In 1989 a further 11 burials (some from each group) were excavated together with a number of other features believed to be post holes.
