Description

The rock-cut tombs, located approximately 4 meters southeast of the Chapel of St Patrick in Heysham, are two graves carved into sandstone rock and date back to the period before the Conquest. One of the graves is child-sized, and both feature socket-holes that were likely intended for timber crosses. An associated cemetery to the south of the chapel was excavated in the 1970s, revealing bones that were dated to the 10th and 11th centuries. These tombs are part of a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
