Abstract: |
A watching brief was maintained during the excavation of a trench to locate and remove a blockage within the waste pipe serving the toilets in the Treasury/Sacristy. Human remains were encountered, and although the ground was much disturbed it was still possible to identify two discrete burials, at least one of which had been previously disturbed. There was evidence that when these burials were interred, a path (as it still does today) ran E-W round the N side of the Cathedral, and that other landscaping, possibly during the establishment of the New Burial Ground, had altered portions of the Old Burial Ground. |
