East Belfast graveyard

Earlier this week we'd the first glimpse of the village archaeologists have unearthed at Dunluce Castle on the north coast.

Well today another discovery - but this time in Belfast.

A regeneration project has uncovered a nineteenth century graveyard where thousands of people may be buried. Human remains underneath a church car park are being exhumed.

Chris Page has been to the site and spoke to Gary Mason, the Methodist Minister at the East Belfast Mission, and the Archaeological Site Director of the dig, Colin Dunlop.
