What is recorded here
Situated on gently rising ground in a sheltered location. Human remains were discovered at this location during land reclamation works in 1992 in an area measuring 30m N-S by 70m E-W. A field report from that time reported that ‘no articulated skeletons were noted but the remains were definitely human. The burials were close to the surface’ (ASI Field Report).
