Abstract/Summary
Information regarding the finding of human remains from land to the north of Pear Tree Lane, Ludborough. The bones comprised a skull without lower jaw, two vertebrae and a clavicle, and had been noted eroding out of the side of a pond. The bones were gathered by the Police, and subjected to Radiocarbon dating, with a mid-Roman date of AD 276-342 (68.5% probability) being returned. No finds or artefacts were recorded in association with the remains, although the bones were thought to have been disturbed from their original burial location. It was thought possible that further human burials and remains might exist in this vicinity. The bones were retained by the Forensic Services for further study.
