Primus Pilus Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Fourteen Saxon graves have been unearthed by workmen enhancing the area around Romsey Abbey. But road chiefs say the unexpected and important find should not delay the enhancement of the historic area. The Saxon remains were discovered at Church Place - close to the main gates to the Norman building. Hampshire County Council is working closely with the borough's heritage officer Frank Green and Southampton City Council's excavation unit to remove, analyse and log the finds. I nitial investigations of the 14 graves, suggest the remains are those of townspeople from the late-Saxon period.
