More than 300 bodies have been found buried under a Welsh department store. Dyfed Archaeological Trust confirmed it had unearthed 307 graves during its excavation work of the old Ocky White store in the centre of Haverfordwest. It comes as the trust prepares to wind down its operations in what has been one of the town’s most comprehensive archaeological digs in its history.
Dyfed Archaeological Trust first discovered signs of 700-year-old relics and human remains in March this year during initial groundworks in preparation for a multi-million-pound regeneration development in Haverfordwest. Work was put on hold to allow archaeologists access to the site in order to carry out a comprehensive dig.
