NS 60482 65549 A geophysical survey was carried out, 10–13 June 2015, at the Necropolis with assistance from volunteers and archaeology students. The survey of five areas aimed to locate a variety of unmarked burial vaults, described as ‘single graves’ in documentary evidence. The results did not provide strong evidence to support the location of the putative ‘single graves’. However, other potential graves or evidence of landscaping activities were identified.
