The adult female, aged over 50, was found with hobnails, which are associated with rural Roman agricultural burials.
The other was an adult male, aged 25 to 30 who had signs of degenerative joints and osteoarthritis. Also found were a selection of Roman pots.
Archaeologist Tom Vaughan said: “The remains have been thoroughly examined and found to be from the Roman era. The excavations, including the finds of hobnails with the adult female are typical of Roman internments in the area and similar to recent excavations near Wyre Piddle and St John’s, Worcester. It is well known that there was Roman occupation around Bredon Hill.”
