What is recorded here

During the renovation of the Old Vicarage building, human skeletal remains were uncovered after the removal of floorboards. The remains consisted of one partly articulated skeleton and scattered bone fragments over previously disturbed ground level. Prior to further archaeological work, the remains of an estimated further six skeletons were removed. Subsequent archaeological work (Licence no. 97E0272) revealed five more partly articulated skeletons, the orientations of which indicate that they were Christian burials pre-dating the construction of the 17th century vicarage and disturbed by its foundations (Dunne 1998, 61).
