Human remains were found in this area in the 19th Century. In 1861 and again in 1889 during improvements on the Hospitalfield Estate a large number of human skeletons were discovered on a sandy hillock immediately east of Hospitalfield Lodge. Excavations revealed the burials to lie in rows, the skeletons fully extended, with the heads to the southwest. Between 100 and 120 inhumations were recovered, but no trace of either coffin or shroud was identified. The foundations of a building to the southeast of the burial ground were discovered during the same operation, and were thought to be the foundations of the Chapel of St John, which was associated with the hospital described on NO64SW0009, and appears in records in 1464 and 1485.
