Full Description
(TR 1446758195. Sited from authority 1). On the west corner of Station Road West, on land adjoining Mr Marcel Hallett's garage, two inhumation burials were found, close together and side by side with the heads to the south-west. No trace of coffins was found nor any grave goods accompanied the burials. It may well be that they are outliers of the extensive Roman cemetery known to have been in this area. Mr Hallett informed the writer that other human remains had been found beneath his workshop near to the railway. (1) Additional reference. (2)
