Plague pit

A plague pit is the informal term used to refer to mass graves in which victims of the Black Death were buried. The term is most often used to describe pits located in Great Britain, but can be applied to any place where Bubonic plague victims were buried.
==Origin==
The plague which swept across Europe in the 14th century is estimated to have killed between one-third and two-thirds of Europe's population.〔Stéphane Barry and Norbert Gualde, "The Greatest Epidemic of History" ("La plus grande épidémie de l'histoire", in ''L'Histoire'' n° 310, June 2006, pp.45-46, say "between one-third and two-thirds"; Robert Gottfried (1983). "Black Death" in ''Dictionary of the Middle Ages'', volume 2, pp.257-67, says "between 25 and 45 percent".〕 Disposal of the bodies of those who died presented huge problems for the authorities, and eventually the normal patterns of burial and funerary observance broke down.
