NS 92390 97579 A non-intrusive evaluation was undertaken on 3 June 2016 under the terms of the HES Human Remains call-off contract. A number of disarticulated bone fragments had been identified within molehills by a student conducting a study of the site. Upon arrival at the site it was evident that maintenance of the graveyard had flattened the majority of the molehills. However, loose areas of spoil and some molehills were visible next to a number of the grave markers. All loose soil was sieved for human bone and artefacts. Eight of the molehills contained

probable human bone, and an area of loose soil under a raised tombstone also contained a few fragments of human bone. A number of fragments of probable animal bone were also retrieved from the ground surface in the NW corner of the site.
