Lead coffin, orientated north-south. The western and eastern coffin sides have been bent inwards, enveloping the burial, and effectively 'closing' the coffin. This is thought to have been a deliberate act, as a fragment of tegula (Su1045) had been placed at the southernmost extent of the coffin and there was no sign of slumping or displacement of the overlying cappuccina capping. Coffin sides may have been bent in to facilitate the construction of the overlying cappuccina capping. Integral part of a high status, carefully constructed elite burial. Of significance is fact that grave is orientated north-south (not east-west as with all other burials encountered on site - possibly non-Christian burial, or not conforming to usual Christian burial practice). Possible that this elite burial has acted as a focus or originator for wider burial activity in the area. Dating evidence not available at present, but stratigraphy indicates burial to be post-Roman, possibly an early phase of late antique period. Dolia vessel (SU1033), located immediately to the south of this grave, may be related to this burial or to ongoing funerary activity focused around the tomb.
