Archaeological Investigations at Guilden Morden, Cambridgeshire, 1997

Abstract

Road construction for a new housing development uncovered human skeletal remains. Investigation revealed two graves containing three skeletons, the single burial being that of a child aged about jour. The double grave contained a young adult male and an older adult female. Both the child and the female had associated grave goods suggesting a sixth century or earlier date. Although the village is known to have Saxon origins there is no immediate context for these burials.
