Gloucestershire Police said the location of the bones is close to an ancient burial site

Human bones believed to be from Roman times have been found during building work.

The bones were discovered last Thursday by builders in a garden near School Road in Kemble, Gloucestershire.

The location is close to an ancient burial site and the layout of the bones is consistent with Roman burial, a Gloucestershire Police spokesperson added.

The bones have now been sent to be tested and carbon dated.
