Newburn, burial ground

In 1897 quarrying near Newburn revealed bones of, it was said, both men and horses, iron musket balls, and cannon balls and small projectiles of stone. The bones were described as lying "in situ immediately below the surface of the ground, at the extreme top of the quarry...". The suggestion that these were casualties from the Battle of Newburn is considered dubious and the site of the quarry is not known.
