During the excavation of foundations for a new house in 1896, workmen uncovered two skeletons. The skeletons lay east and west, head to head. No finds were found in association with the burials, but horse bones, charred material and oyster shells were found. A third skeleton with a small Roman vase by the skull was discovered at a depth of 2 ft 6 inches a few yards to the north-east of the house when laying a drain. It lay east and west with the head to the west. Within a yard of the skull the outline of another grave cut north and south was detected in the drain trench.
