Description

Eight lines of trenches measuring a total of 422m were inserted into the area of the cemetery by JCB using a ditching bucket. The trenches were positioned with the aim of establishing limits to the cemetery in all directions (or failing that providing information for a second phase of trenching), identifying the degree of destruction caused by looting, and establishing the number, depth and condition of intact graves, both along and beyond the proposed roadline.
