Full Description

Burial: A pair of leg bones were reported by members of the public, eroding from the coastal edge. Investigation of this site through the Call-Off Contact indicated an informal burial of two lower legs. It was not clear if they came from the same individual. One set of lower leg bones were associated with a boot. Prior to any further post- ex analysis, it seems likely these remains relate to a 19th / 20th century shipwreck victim.
