Recorded monuments

• KD023-021 Burial
  Description

  In 1966, while excavating foundations for a new house on level ground, a number of inhumation burials were discovered in the gravelly subsoil. The NMI were informed and a limited rescue excavation ensued. Fragments of four human skulls – an adult male, an elderly individual of unknown sex, a juvenile of unknown sex and the skull of an infant of less than one year old - were found in unlined graves (D 0.78-0.9m; Wth at base 0.3-0.45m; Wth at top 0.8m). No grave goods were found. As the excavation was limited, the presence of other burials in the vicinity cannot be ruled out.
