Abstract:		 Excavations at Market Square, St Neots in advance of development revealed that the earliest feature was a large pit containing burnt daub, infilled before the cemetery developed. A total of thirty-eight graves of probable Late Saxon to medieval date were examined, with a burial population of forty-four individuals (twenty-one males, six possible males, one female, one possible female, three children, twelve indeterminate). Of particular note was a male burial with a partially fused spine accompanied by a possible surgical support or remnants of a bier. Another grave contained a priest, buried with a base-metal chalice. There is slight evidence to suggest division of the cemetery according to status or chronology. Includes
