Perhaps graves were re-used ? That is what happens to-day. Usually,
graves are discontinued after 20 years, and other people are buried in
them. After all, usually nothin remains of the dead body or the coffin
after 20 years.
The exception, of course, is people of importance. Their graves may
"survive" for centuries, even millenia.
There is a small graveyard at Knavinstown, near Kildare town, KIldare,
Ireland that seems to be _very_ old. The level of the enclosed
graveyard is about 2 metres above the surrounding field.
