Human remains were discovered on 4 May 2006 by builders excavating part of the interior of an outbuilding to the east of Washingborough Hall. In two slightly deeper places at the far eastern end of the building two burials were found. The two deeper holes were two metres apart. The southernmost hole contained a human skull. Vertebrae associated with the skull were noted in the eastern section of the hole suggesting that the body was buried east to west, with the head to the west. East to west burials are a common feature of Christian burials. The northernmost hole contained rib fragments, again appearing to be aligned east to west. The southernmost skeleton was approximately 67cm below the foundation of the wall and was aligned so that the feet of the burial would have been located outside the building. The northernmost skeleton was discovered at the shallower depth of approximately 50cm below the foundation of the wall. Both were located in a deep layer of mid-brown sandy silt. The builders said they were going to rebury the disturbed human remains in their original location thus preserving the burials in-situ. No other finds were made with the skeletons, and it can be presumed that the burials were medieval in date, perhaps part of the cemetery associated with the medieval church of St John the Evangelist some 24 metres to the north of the burials. {1}
