What is recorded here

Located within a relatively flat field of tillage with extensive views. Excavations in 1988 during the construction of a gas pipeline revealed a total of 57 burials, 12 of which were placed in slab-lined grave pits. There was no enclosing element around the cemetery. All the burials lay roughly in rows, at a distance of 0.2m or more from each other. A small iron buckle and a fragment of bronze were recovered from the site (Gowen 1988, 18). Subsequent monitoring in 1999 west of the area excavated revealed no further features (Conway 2000, 96). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 09 January 2015
