DOCUMENTED FACT. The excavation published 1,026 early-medieval burials, many just below the topsoil. The Home Office burial licence lapsed from 21 April to at least 3 May 1994. Condition 18 was treated as discharged on the developer’s counsel’s opinion over GGAT’s objection; the Council called it “a difference of opinion”. The historic-environment record carries 858, not 1,026 (Archaeology and Heritage).
