In AD 1892 Mr Walter Straw, preparing a foundation at the bottom of St Michael's Street discovered 8 skeletons, one lying E-W, surrounded by 7 others with their feet towards him. All were lying on top of the limestone and although the bones triturated on being handled, the skull of the one in the centre was intact and has been preserved by the efforts of the late Dr Mitchell and the writer. It was submitted with a sketch plan of the graves to the authorities of the British Museum who declared it to be of the Neolithic age. (1)
