Do they have six fingers
I wonder who these people where. It would be good if Tine Team to get out there and find out some more before they become bird food.

They've been there for 200 yrs, they were off the prison hulks. It was used to bury anyone that died of an infectious disease. They buried them 6ft deep, however the erosion is now exposing the coffins and bones. Bit late for any bird feed to be honest.

Very interesting Kev.

love the story of horror stories being passed down through the ages about the mysterious place. Surely the name of the sludge island was a huge hint. Mind you, evolutionary full circle - came out of the sludge and ended back in it
