Nottinghamshire County Council was informed of the discovery of human remains by Nottinghamshire Constabulary in November 2016. The bones had been found during building works at a house in West Markham. On attending, all of the remains had been lifted by the homeowner and/or builder. An inventory was made and it was determined that the 29 bones represented an MNI of 4, one being a juvenile. The bones had been disturbed previously at an unknown time and redeposited together, likely in a pit although all contextual information had been destroyed. Their original place of burial and date remains unknown. Full recording was not possible in the short time limit. The remains had been exhumed without an appropriate exhumation licence from the MoJ and the homeowner was advised to rebury them close to the findspot. The bones will be reinterred underneath a new gate post where they are likely to remain undisturbed. The MoJ has been informed by NCC
