Narrative
-
- An east-west aligned burial of an adult and juvenile in the South-Western corner of trench 2 (west). The upper half of the adult continued into the LOE and was not fully exposed. Both skeletons lay supine, with the hands lying together across the pelvis. The juvenile was positioned directly adjacent to the adult's left side. The feet were level with each other. Both individuals were likely buried at the same time due to their very close proximity. The juvenile skeleton was lifted, whilst the adult remained in situ. Similar to most graves in the vicinity, the feature exists within the disturbed layer 2164 (interpreted as a graveyard soil) with no distinct cut visible. It may therefore be broadly contemporary with these, but further excavation would be needed to confirm this. No direct relationships to other features were observed.

- As of the 2021 field season, the exposed elements of the adult skeleton (SK2186) were lifted. The remaining portion of the adult (from the pelvis up) remain in-situ due to the grave extending beyond the LOE
