An excavation was undertaken last year (1964) at TF 2486 3973, by the Headmaster of Cowley's Secondary School, Swineshead. Skulls, bones, 16th to 17th century pottery, tile and moulded fragments were found but only very small quantities of building material. The stone is believed to have been used in the extensions of Swineshead Church. {3}
