That was a Baptist graveyard which was known as "Macpelah" (sp?) which I was told means "God's Acre". It wasn't a particularly old one in comparison to Time Team excavations but when the land was to be sold for redevelopment the last burial was at least 100 years old by then and none of the graves were being tended. I believe they were all exhumed in a respectful manner and re-interred elsewhere.
