Full Description
Trial trenching was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology in October 2007 on land to the north of the railway, Torksey. A 12th to 13th century cemetery of thirteen graves which contained nineteen inhumations was revealed. Disarticulated remains of eleven individuals were also recorded. Ditches and pits containing pottery dating from the same period were also uncovered. A possible workshop associated with the kiln [PRN 59518] and mid 12th to 13th century flat roof tile from an ecclesiastical or high status building was also revealed. The tile may represent evidence of one of Torksey's lost churches. {1}{2}
