Few graves still had markers associated with them, and it was assumed that these had been cleared prior to development of the lot.  There were some exceptions; this iron strap hinge, for instance, had been inserted vertically at the head of the grave of Burial 11 (2011 Excavations), perhaps to mimic a Christian cross.
