BBC: The remains of more than 240 people, including children, have been unearthed by archaeologists working on the remnants of a medieval priory found beneath a former department store.
The "hugely significant" discovery was made under the old Ocky White building in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire.
Archaeologists believe the ruins are from St Saviour's Priory, founded by a Dominican order of monks in about 1256.
One expert said it offered a "window into medieval Haverfordwest".
Ocky White was a popular store for more than a century before its riverside premises closed in 2013.
Site supervisor Andrew Shobbrook, from Dyfed Archaeological Trust, described the priory as a significant complex of buildings with dormitories, scriptoriums - rooms devoted to writing and manuscripts - stables and a hospital.
"It's quite a prestigious place to be buried. You have a range of people, from the wealthy to general townsfolk," he said.
It is believed that the graveyard could have been used until the early 18th Century. » | Aled Scourfield, BBC News | Tuesday, October 11, 2022
