Roman burial unearthed at hidden cemetery found in Garforth
Multiple burials in the same grave are among those found at the ancient cemetery in GarforthSkeletal remains of a high status Roman woman encased in a lead coffin have been unearthed at a hidden cemetery dating back 1600 years.
Experts said the fact the coffin had been made out of lead signified the skeleton was someone of importance. Mr Hunter explained: "At Garforth we've got the Roman graves which are roughly east west in alignment and the Saxon graves which are north south in alignment, so the differences stand out like a sore thumb."
Describing the unearthing of the cemetery as a highlight of his career, he said: "This has the potential to be a find of massive significance for what we understand about the development of ancient Britain and Yorkshire.
