Abstract: |
Disarticulated human bone from at least five bodies was recovered from a mass grave or charnel pit, probably medieval, just beyond the modern graveyard. Two undated pits were also noted. The medieval graveyard may have originaly been more extensive (before it was enclosed in 1225) or the mass grave may have been in unconsecrated ground for other reasons. Dating unfortunately is provided only by five sherds of medieval pottery, none absolutely conclusively from within the grave, but associated only with a deposit of what was almost certainly grave fill with displaced disarticulated bone, on the spoil heap. |
