Full Description

At the base of the soakaways, significant quantities of human skeletal remains with fresh breaks were identified and had been placed in the base of the sondages by the groundworks contractors as having come from the excavation of that soakaway. These remains were not quantified or analysed but
were returned as per instruction to the Church for reburial. No grave cuts were identified in section.
