Short Description:
Adult skeleton located in grave cut [6003].
Issued to

Interpretation

    • Adult skeleton, E/W allignment, no grave goods found within burial. Missing feet, ribs, right pelvic bone, pubic bones and vertibrea. Likely to have been disturbed by animal burrowing or other bioturbation, due to a natural feature towards the feet area of grave cut. There are two plough marks located west of the cut extent , suggesting that ploughing may have also disturbed the body.
