An archaeological evaluation carried out in 2009 found evidence of a Roman cemetery in an area known to contain other burials. Two definite, and two probable, inhumation burials were discovered and a number of stray human bones. The burials are interpreted as being part of a roadside cemetery. Later work at the site during 2010-2011 revealed 137 burials, confirming the hypothesis that the area was used as a cemetery during the Roman period.
