| Summary : Inhumation cemetery and enclosing wall at Glastonbury Abbey. The cemetery, which overlays an earlier one, was walled and built up by St. Dunstan during the mid 10th century. Excavation has identified the course of the wall on the west, south and east sides. Inhumations were found at two levels, the lower probably representing internments made before Dunstan's building up. |
