AN ANCIENT burial site dating from the Dark Ages has been discovered at Boscastle during work to create a new waste water scheme for the area.
A pagan and Christian cemetery, including at least 18 graves, was unearthed during the setting up of a compound.
The discovery prompted South West Water (SWW) to call in experts to help understand the significance of the find.
Experts said the particular type of graves found were extremely rare.
