Ancaster skeleton ‘not suspicious’

The police investigation into human remains found in the garden of a property in Brookside Close, Ancaster, have now concluded.

They have confirmed they are not treating the discovery of these bones as involving any suspicious circumstances.

A spokesmnan said: “Based on assessment of the bones, and the presence of what is believed to be Roman pottery found in the burial site along with other information from our inquiries, we believe them to belong to someone from centuries-old settlements which were heavily present in the area.

“We are now in the process of finalising our report in preparation of handing the investigation over to the Lincolnshire County Council Archaeology team and South Kesteven District Council, who will lead on any further examinations.”
