Does anyone know what happened to the Heysham Head graves site that was in here?
has it been pulled?

Hi TH,

I'm afraid the graves are gone. They lived on borrowed time for some years. Not since Sutton Hoo has a site fought so bravely against the TMA Submission Guidelines.

They will be missed.

Bugger, that was the first site I posted about! Mind you, they were definitely NOT within the remit of TMA although there is evidence of Mesolithic activity in the area, so maybe we could've sneaked it in from behind, so to speak?

Yes, they're missing the bones - a sky burial site - by fish !

Probably monastic - but could easily be Bronze Age ...
