Full description

1. Prior to the extension of the North Aisle of Alconbury parish church a programme of archaeological monitoring was undertaken from March to June in 2014. During the programme 154 skeletons were recorded and reburied in the graveyard. The burials were likely to have been Medieval in date, although some unmarked Post-Medieval burials were also encountered close to the church. A large amount of disarticulated human bone was also recorded and re-buried. A small amount of Roman and Early-Middle Saxon pottery was recovered, as was an Early Roman coin modified in the Post-Roman period to be worn as a pendant. Three fragments of worked animal bone combe were also recovered.
