Summary

One of two graves encountered during the excavation of foundations for an extension to Church House in 1991. Only the western end of the grave was exposed, and a number of skull fragments recorded. The grave appeared to be aligned east-west. No dating evidence was found,but the burial must be earlier than 1617, when a house is known to have been on the site, and is most likely to be medieval in date.
