Description

Archaeological monitoring was conducted after human remains were encountered during the repair of a leaking water main, on land adjacent to St Peter's Church, Torksey. Two in situ human burials were recorded, and a large quantity of disturbed human remains were recovered. The remains clearly belonged to the adjacent medieval and post-medieval graveyard, and indicate that it has been encroached upon by previous widening of the A156 (Main Street). {1}{2}
