Interesting.
There has been a few like it in the 20th century, namely Richard 111, found under a parking lot!
And the largest (medieval) excavated cemetery in the world at Spitlefields London.
Spitlefields got its name for a middle ages ho'spital' on the site and the adjacent fields where it was used for mass graves to bury those unfortunate victims of famine etc.

I knew the English had horrible problems with keeping trains on time but this is ridiculous!

That's because they hire archaeologists instead of engineers to work on their rail projects:

The English navigator and cartographer’s coffin was found at the St James’s Burial Ground at Euston Station by archaeologists working on England’s High Speed 2 rail project.

When I was in Modena, they were digging up an old Roman encampment right next to the restaurant where I was eating in the town piazza.

Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner announced the charge against Nathaniel Hendren, 29, in the death of 24-year-old Katlyn Alix, as they allegedly played a game in which a revolver’s cylinder was emptied, one bullet put back and the two colleagues took turns pointing at each other and pulling the trigger.

Alix was with two male officers at an apartment when she was killed just before 1 a.m. Thursday . A probable cause statement from police, provided by Gardner’s office, offered a chilling account of the dangerous game that led to her death.
