A burial which may be attributable to the Early or Middle Saxon period lay in the southernmost of the Castle Mall cemeteries (sk.13156) and unexpectedly yielded a probable 7th century radiocarbon date. By implication, an underlying burial (sk.13169) may also date to this early period. Whether or not the presence of these possible early burials indicates a foundation of the cemetery during the 7th century, or whether the presence of the later cemetery of St John's (Cemetery 4) was coincidental remains equivocal (see further discussion in monographs).
