Abstract: |
The watching brief was undertaken during a barn conversion. During the groundworks, human skeletal remains were exposed. Subsequent investigation, largely confined to construction trenches, revealed the development area to be situated within an inhumation cemetery that probably dated to the early Romano-British period. Thirteen individual graves were recorded. Where identifiable, orientation was generally northeast - southwest. A small assemblage (25 sherds) of pottery was recovered, ranging in date from Early-Middle Iron Age to post-medieval. The size of the cemetery could not be fully ascertained, but it was believed to extend beyond the development area. [Au(abr)] |
