Human remains were found in June 2022, in this area to the north of Pear Tree Lane. The bones comprised a skull without lower jaw, two vertebrae and a clavicle, and had been noted eroding out of the side of a pond. The bones were gathered by the Police, and subjected to Radiocarbon dating, with a mid-Roman date of AD 276-342 (68.5% probability) being returned. No finds or artefacts were recorded in association with the remains, although the bones were loose from their original burial location. It was thought possible that further human burials and remains might exist in this vicinity. The bones were retained by the Forensic Services for further study. {1} The bones were recovered from the south-west corner of the pond, and were thought to have come from a substantial layer of peat into which the pond had been cut c.2000. The pond had been fully dredged in 2021, with the sides being widened and the material excavated being used to form an exterior bank around the pond. No evidence for a burial cut or backfilled feature associated with the human remains was noted during the investigation prompted by their discovery. It was thought likely that the bones were from the same individual (although with less certainty regarding the clavicle). {2}
