Full Description
Inhumation discovered in 1961 during the digging of foundations. Other bones collected indicated the presence of at least three individuals. Pottery collected from the grave were interpreted as being 12th to 14th century. It is possible that the site relates to the graveyard of the former church of St. Giles, burnt in the 16th century by French raiders. (1)
