Interpretation

    • Adult skeleton, contained within grave cut [4596], skeleton has fair preservation, apart from modern truncation by machining. The body has crossed arms and legs, implying that the body was wrapped in a shroud? There was a nail found on the left hand side of the body, may be related to the shroud as a nail pin. Allignment in a E/W position.
