Archaeologists think these skeletons were medieval and professional archaeologists were analyzing them to find out more about how these ancient people lived and died. Some have been relocated to allow plumbing work to take place and the rest is left in place for research.

Earlier, Roman skeletons were discovered in Burton Latimer, Northamptonshire when we placed new pipes at the end of last year and when preparing to install a new pipeline near Bury St Edmunds, they found 8 skeletons. dating back to about 400 AD.

"Another time, Huntingdon city engineers looked for a leak on the city pipeline and discovered a skull, and these bones were supposed to come from an old burial place at this locality earlier ' .

This is not the first time engineers have discovered important archaeological sites while working in the city. In July this year, 150 Saxon skeletons were found by archaeologists along the path of Lincoln Eastern Bypass.

They were excavated on Washingborough Road in early July last year.

Ten Saxon skeletons were also discovered during the restoration of Lincoln Castle for a total of 21 million pounds. The rest included four adult men, three mature women, two teenagers between the ages of 10 and 14 and a child between the ages of two and six who were excavated during the restoration of Lincoln Castle.

Archaeologists also believe that they found the remains of an Anglo Saxon saint or king in Lincolnshire, Little Carlton, near Louth in 2011.

The skeleton was buried in the ground with his knees twisted about 180 degrees. The area was discovered by metal detector detector Graham Vickers when he discovered an eighth-century silver pen in a field in Little Carlton, near Louth.
