Undated burials
The site of six inhumation burials of unknown date which were uncovered in 1777. They are believed to have been found 500m south west of Bordon Hill.
1 Six skeletons of unknown date were found in an old inclosure during 1777 whilst digging for limestone: they were unaccompanied.
2 It was thought that this refers to a quarry on Bardon Hill only a short distance from the Stratford Evesham road.
3 There seems to be some conflation between MWA916, 917 and 1798. MWA1798 and 917 refer to the 1777 discoveries; MWA916 refers to the discoveries made in 1860 or 1861. Giving the difficulty in locating both sites, it is possible that the same area/site is being referred to.
4 No trace of an undated cemetery, of which this might be part, was recorded during topsoil stripping for mains replacement work.
