One of four Roman inhumation burials (see also MCC2889, MCC2890 and MCC2892) uncovered in 2001 at the Topfield site, Rawstorn Road. All four features were shallow and were covered by at least 1m of topsoil containing residual Roman pottery. These burials are thought to be part of the Roman cemetery at the adjacent St Mary's Hospital site. <1><2><3>

Feature 7 is a probable grave cut 850mm wide, projecting from the west section of trench 2 at the same alignment as Feature 5 . The feature is straight sided and flat-bottomed with a depth of 200mm. Although no human remains were found they may be beyond the reach of the trench. The late Roman vessel found is reminiscent of a grave offering. Two nails were also found whilst digging the section.
