Narrative

    • A burial in the centre of trench 4, it was to the east of the roman building. It cut a ring ditch F#862. The burial contained a north to south aligned adult skeleton with the skull at the south. Next to the skull a bone comb was found (sf#84) Also within the grave fill were two coins and a copper alloy pin. The grave cut was 1.90 meters long, 0.50 meters wide and 0.30 meters deep. The presence of nails around the skeleton indicate the possibility that it was buried in a coffin.
