The inhumation in Grave 1, lying immediately below the make-up for the present yard surface, was that of a young adult, though the sex could not be determined. The burial had suffered considerable damage as the skull was missing (though part of the mandible was present), having presumably been removed during terracing on the site, and much of the lower part of the skeleton had been cut away by two small modern pits which contained some of the displaced bones. Many of the undisturbed bones apart from the long bones were absent, having presumably been corroded away in the sandy soil; however the remaining bone showed the burial posture as supine with the lower part of the left arm folded across the chest and the lower part of the right arm flexed towards the left pelvic area. Though part of the outline of the grave cut remained, there was no indication that a coffin had been present.<1>
