Archaeologists describe the find as 'incredibly significant' and say they are located at the site of the former St Saviour's Friary, founded in 1256.
Ms Murphy added:"It is a mass of burials of people of all ages and genders - people wanted to be buried there who lived in the town. From tiny babies, you can imagine the mortality rate was very high in that period, so there are large numbers of infant burials.
Ms Murphy said:"We have seen some that have suffered from injuries, but whether that's from warfare, a battle or a fight, it's difficult to tell. There is some evidence some people might have had injuries inflicted from battle, but we can't say. As a group, the majority of them don't appear to show evidence of wounds."
