Abstract: |
Excavations revealed part of the Roman cemetery known from previous discoveries in and around the Mount. Twenty-four inhumation burials and one cremation were found; most if not all were adult males. The inhumations were notable for the presence of at least ten decapitations. These characteristics of the burials were comparable to those found at 1-3 Driffield terrace in 2004-5. However, the cemetery at 6 Driffield Terrace was thought to commence in the 3rd century and the decapitation rites were believed to have taken place during the later 3rd and 4th centuries, somewhat later than at No. 3.
