Description
Observations were made by workmen whilst cutting back and concreting of a N facing scarp west of a small building used as a chlorinating room circa 1943.
A crouched inhumation was found, although the remains are said to have been left in situ. However, cooking vessels placed between the knees were taken away soon after discovery.
