Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out within the nave of a disused church with Norman origins, in advance of possible proposals to renovate the nave. The church was situated on a prominent hilltop, overlooking the probable site of a Roman and medieval harbour. Archaeological remains recorded in the vicinity included prehistoric flints, Bronze age round barrows, Iron Age pottery and Roman coins. Earthworks and strip lynchets surrounding the church may have represented the remains of medieval occupation. During the evaluation, a possible stone-capped grave or small vault was found, and limestone foundation blocks parallel to and pre-dating the existing chancel arch were recorded. To the north of the southern wall, two well-preserved human graves and a single post hole were encountered. A geophysical survey was undertaken, and although the effectiveness of this was hampered by local conditions, the results suggested that further substantial pits, most probably graves, were preserved within the interior of the nave. It was recommended that further archaeological excavation should be carried out in the event that the proposed development programme were unable to accommodate the preservation of the remains identified.
