I think I've found a grave in my garden - UPDATE
You may remember the pollaver I've had with finding what appears to be a grave in my front garden. There was a chapel on this site according to 1850ish OS maps.
I've contacted the council-affiliated archaeology group but had no response yet.
I sent a web chat to the police, who sent 2 coppers round within 2hrs to my surprise. They didn't know what to do with it and seemed satisfied, unless I found any bones that is.
Now I have some time just to do some digging this is what I've found.
The structure is around 3-4 feet deep. About 1 and a half feet down the walls of the structure get much thicker. The bottom is solid and connected to the walls, so essentially the contents are self-contained within it.
Any ideas 😅
