Abstract:		 TF 81811304. Twelve skeletons were exposed during road-widening in the area of a known leper house of c 1100-1350. The bones are morphologically compatible with the historical date. Four bodies were represented by a few damaged bones, four had lost their skulls and nearly all the foot bones were missing; these bones are important in pathological diagnosis. Despite this, evidence of possible leprosy was found in one case, whilst in three the diagnosis was probable and in another three almost certain. The dental evidence suggests mouth abscesses and a soft diet. DFR
