DONCASTER Museum is set to stage an exhibition of a major Viking or Saxon find in the town in the next few months.
Doncaster Council expects the bones of the 35 people whose grave was found during site preparations for the construction of the new North Ridge Community School in Adwick to be returned when archaeologists finish working on them.

Jane Miller, director of neighbourhoods, said: "The excavated material is currently undergoing conservation and analysis but it is hoped that an exhibition will be held in Doncaster to give local people the chance to look at some of these finds within the next few months."

The graveyard where the bodies were found probably dates from between the fifth and ninth centuries AD, when the area was occupied by Saxons and Vikings.
