A skeleton believed to be a murder victim from the Iron Age has been discovered by archaeologists working on the HS2 project.
HS2 said that the grisly find was unearthed during the excavation work at Wellwick Farm near Wendover, in Buckinghamshire. Archaeologists found the skeleton of an adult male buried face down in a ditch with hands bound together under his pelvis.
The unusual burial position suggests the iron age man may have been a victim of a murder or execution, it added. Osteologists are currently examining the skeleton for further evidence of foul play, HS2 said.
Other discoveries at the site span over 4,000 years of human history, including a circular timber monument resembling the layout of Stonehenge.
