Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation, consisting of the excavation of two 5m x 3m trenches, was carried out on the site of a former 19th century Baptist burial ground at Croft Lane, Diss, Norfolk, at the pre-planning application stage. The combined program of documentary research, trial trench evaluation and recording of extant memorials, despite not fully investigating or exhuming any single burial, suggests that the burial ground at Croft Lane is dense with burials from a depth of at least 0.6m below existing ground-level and in a state of good preservation overall. Individual graves are likely to contain complete skeletal remains and a range of surviving structural remains, coffins and their fittings and possibly textile material. A suggested low end estimate for the number of individuals buried on the site, over a period from c.1790 to c.1890, is 100-120 but could potentially be considerably higher. |
