  • Finds from around the burial were bagged with the SK number (2245), grave yard soil (2015) and grave fill (2310). Burial very disturbed by later burials, left side of the body had been mostly removed. The extra bones around the body could be the disturbed remains of SK2245 but seem most likely to be charnel.
