About 40 skeletons have been uncovered by archaeologists at the site of a Roman cemetery in Gloucester.
The discovery was made during a dig at the former Gloscat site at Greyfriars in Brunswick Road, ahead of a housing development being built.
It has been described as one of the most significant archaeological finds in the city in the past 30 years.

Re: Roman skeletons discovered in Gloucester
Thanks Tom that's interesting - I wonder if they were buried in small clusters like this over different areas?
Another great discovery that could've been potentially lost due to unnecessary over - housing development!
