Before 7 January 2025. Casual Observation.
Human remains encountered during excavation of service trench to north-west of St Andrew's Churchyard, at c. TG 23093 08738.
A specialist examination of the bones recovered suggests they comprise the remains of at least three individuals. It is possible that additional individuals were represented by the remains disturbed, as more bones were apparently left in situ on site. It is noted that photographs taken by the Norfolk Constabulary Crime Scene Investigator (S1) of bones in section suggest a charnel pit may have been disturbed, rather than articulated remains within graves. The retrieved bones include several identifiable as being from both at least one sub-adult (c.16-18 years) as well as adult or older sub-adult long bones.
It was subsequently determined that no further excavation was required at the site. All bones were carefully reburied as part of the reinstatement works - see additional photographs (S2).
See report (S3) for further details. This discovery was also reported in the local press - see (S4)-(S6).
