Interpretation
-
- Skeleton 4876 in cut 4875. Most of spine and all of ribs missing, similar for a lot of other graves in the area, unknown reason? Similar to other graves in fairly deep cut with vertical sides. Mixture of N-S and E-W burials in area, this one being N-S. No apparent grave goods in fill, however a lot of pottery sherds and one Fe pin recovered from the fill.
