What is recorded here

Marlborough House stood above eight to ten slab-lined graves before the Meteorological Office took its place. Workmen uncovered the east-west aligned chambers in July 1914, exposing Early medieval remains and a single bone implement. The dead had waited beneath a changing city, unchanged by empires or fashion, until measurement and movement brought them back into light.

In July 1914, approximately 8-10 graves, orientated E-W were uncovered on the site of Marlborough House where the Meteorological Office stands. These were slab-lined graves of probable Early medieval date. A bone implement was found with the remains (Cahill, M. & Sikora, M. 2011, 453).

Slab-lined Early Medieval burial graves; significant as a rare example of a small-scale burial ground associated with a possible monastic or domestic site in an urban context.
