Abstract: |
Salvage recording was carried out in the back gardens of 5 and 6, Seager's Lane, Brierley Hill, Dudley (NGR SO 91560 86850) to record and recover human remains from the vicinity of a badger sett within the churchyard of St Michael's Church on behalf of the Reverend David Hoskin. A site inspection was undertaken by Jayne Pilkington on 17 October 2017 and Jamie Wilkins undertook salvage recording salvage recording on 30 October 2017. The site lies just outside the churchyard of St Michael's Church (Dudley HER no 947; NHLE ref. 1227966) just within the gardens of 5 and 6, Seager's Lane. A large conifer tree on the boundary with the church has roots under the gardens and the churchyard. The sett entrance holes are within these roots and human bone fragments were found scattered around this (J Pilkington 17 October 2017 notes, sketch and photos in archive). Jamie Wilkins visited on 30 October to record the site and to examine and photograph the human remains. These were boxed and left for the church to collect. This report concludes that human remains bones had been moved by badgers from the churchyard and that therefore no Faculty or Licence from the Secretary of State is needed before re-interment takes place. |
