First images of the first burials on site being excavated by the Cheese. As well as some other interesting working shots of post-Medieval stuff – including a sherd of imported pottery that may have an exotic provenance possibly a sherd of Spanish paterna blue pottery from Valencia – late 15th/early 16th century. Maybe.
