Details Burials found in 1891 during building works southeast of 12 Carmelite Lane. Probably associated with the Carmelite Friary (NJ90NW0006). G M Fraser, writing in 1904 in his history of 'The Green', records the following, "...in June 1891, when, in the course of some digging operations in Carmelite Lane, the workmen came upon part of the old Carmelite burial place. The quantity of bones disclosed on that occasion (without the slightest trace of coffin or enclosing material of any kind) indicated the considerable use that had been made of the Carmelite cemetery. On the same occasion a portion of the old Carmelite Chapel was brought to light - the lower part of a buttress, of Morayshire sandstone."
