Summary
In 1868 the City Corporation Engineer, James Pilbrow, recorded three inhumation burials at the SW end of Kirby's Lane. It is thought that the inhumations were Roman in date. A watching brief was undertaken in June 1983. Remains of two skeletons were discovered and were presumed to be from the Roman inhumation cemetery known in the area.
