Burial in Inchmore

Burial

What is recorded here

Inchmore is a quiet burial where cattle dragged human bones from the River Nore bank near an old bawn, exposing skull fragments and teeth beside a castle and a 17th-century house. The discovery suggests someone was laid to rest outside the defended yard, perhaps denied entry or buried in haste during a time when the water edge belonged to whoever controlled the stones.
Human remains, consisting of skull fragments and teeth, were uncovered on the W bank of the River Nore and outside an adjacent bawn (KK009-002003-). The remains were found c. 20m from the SE angle of bawn and 3.8m to the E. The bawn is associated with a castle (KK009-002001-) and a 17th-century house (KK009-002002-). The remains were uncovered by cattle. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 10 February 2015
