Abstract: |
Programme of Archaeological Investigation The archaeological investigation was carried out in five phases, from February 2013 - November 2015. Phases Two, Three and Five revealed negative results. Phase four revealed the remains of three human skeletons. Despite the poor preservation of the material, the results of the Osteological Report suggested that two of the inhumations (Sk 1 and Sk 5) could be tentatively confirmed as adult males. Furthermore, evidence of fastenings associated with male clothing in the region of Sk 1 and Sk 3 suggests that the individuals were likely to have been wearing breeches at the time of burial, a typical masculine dress on the mid-18th century. The correspondence of the burial location with the recorded position of a stone, observing the death of William Jackson and the punishment of six more members of the Hawkhurst Gang, suggests that the remains may represent members of the group. William Jackson is a likely candidate, since the stone records his nearby burial. Richard Mills, the elder and Richard Mills may also be represented, due to the record of their burial adjacent to the gallows on the Broile. |
