Abstract: |
Numerous grave stones and plots were uncovered during a three day excavation period in the north-western part of the site. The intention was only to reveal the slabs, not to explore the burials themselves. However, in some instances the slabs were damaged or absent and the vaults had been disturbed, so that excavation down onto the level of the slabs revealed some disarticulated human bone. On the third day of the investigation the Tate vault was identified and the slab was found to be ex situ and had partly fallen into the vault. At the base of the slab was revealed the sides of a lead-lined coffin, which was that of Joseph Williamson, however there was no evidence of the coffin lid. [Au(abr)] |
