What is recorded here

In October 1994 human remains were discovered at a site during building operations. The skeleton (1994:56) was buried in a sandy layer and lay on coarse gravel containing some water-rolled pebbles. The body lay extended in a supine position with head to the west and feet to the east. Prof. Harbison concluded that the remains were probably those of an adult male (NMI).The exact location of this monument is unknown.
