Short Description:
Fill of grave [2454] containing SK2453 visible truncating stone lined channel 2433
Issued to
Ben Swain | 11/10/2022

Interpretation

    • The grave remains unexcavated as of 2022 apart from the exposed skull and upper right arm of SK2453. Difficult to distinguish from the surrounding graveyard soil, it is likely to have been backfilled with very similar material
