ABSTRACT
Burial Ground’.59 In July, the attorneys reported back to Fowlis that they would execute the plans for erecting a schoolhouse and enclosed burial ground.60
Given that Morrice claimed to have witnessed young women being buried in their ‘gardens’, by which he most likely meant house gardens and not provision grounds, it would appear that, as was the case at Seville, the workers at Marshall’s Pen had a sim-
ultaneous tradition of cemetery and house-yard burial. Morrice’s observation, made after the burial ground was to be enclosed, further suggests that not all members of the estate population were interred in the cemetery, and, as is suggested by the historic
literature, only those who could afford to have tombs erected were buried with such markers.
