Cholera pit : ウィキペディア英語版
Cholera pit

A cholera pit was a burial place used in a time of emergency when the disease was prevalent. Such mass graves were often unmarked and were placed in remote or specially selected locations. Public fears of contagion, lack of space within existing churchyards〔 and restrictions placed on the movements of people from location to location〔 also contributed to their establishment and use. Many of the victims were poor and lacked the funds for memorial stones, however memorials were sometimes added at a later date.〔
==Burials==
Often the bodies of cholera victims were wrapped in cotton or linen and doused in coal-tar or pitch before placing into a coffin. Each burial was in a pit 8 ft deep and liberally sprinkled with quicklime.〔 The bodies were sometimes burnt before interment.〔(Friar's Bush ) Retrieved : 2012-01-17〕
;Long term risks
It is considered that the cholera risk posed through disturbance of cholera pits from the 19th century is non-existent as transmission is through contaminated water or food.〔
