The National Monuments Service's description
Discovered when digging a trench to lay an electrical cable to the front of a dwelling in 2001 (Excavation Licence 02E0198). The remains of a female aged between 21 and 40 years were located in a shallow trench. It was subsequently learned that other skeletons had been uncovered during the construction of the dwelling but were unreported. (Buckley, 2002). Probably part of the same cemetery mentioned in the OS field books (see CW013-088----).
