The best way to find him would be to arrange for the tennis court to become a car park ... seriously, I would give the archaeologists a good chance of being right, as the monks would have wished to put Edmund's remains in consecrated ground, and would almost certainly give their own consecrated ground preference.

does geophys work through asphalt?

IIRC, ground penetrating radar does.

Of course not.  The Guardian would have him buried under a cruet....

or a croquet lawn

Holly is obviously not a regular Grauniad reader else he would have understood that croquet lawn is too large an error but Tennis cruet or Tennis cot is almost certainly a real life typo from Manchester...
