Short Description:
Cut of grave truncating ditch 2311
Issued to
Ben Swain | 02/10/2022

Interpretation

    • Cut of a grave only visible in section - the Sort facing section through ditch [2311] - where it is visible truncating the ditch. The skeleton within appears to be positioned in an unusual way for the Christian tradition, with the legs seemingly extending south into section whilst the ribs and upper body remain roughly E-W. However, without further excavation, it would not be possible to prove this
