Abstract:		 A watching brief was undertaken within the churchyard. A probable early-medieval land surface was revealed, bounded on its eastern side by a steep sided curving bank. This was possibly a northern lip of a curvilinear ditch demarcating an early-enclosed cemetery or lann. A line of walling was found overlying the ditch, following the alignment of an earlier bank, thought to represent a medieval churchyard wall around the Lann. Two coffin-burial graves and a charnel pit were recorded. The burials were believed to be medieval, probably 16th or 17th century. Within the church a succession of three floor levels were recognised, two earlier modern mortar floors and the present floor dating from the 19th century. The upper mortar floor bore traces of tile impression on its surface, suggesting a late 13th/early 14th century date. There was no evidence for any burials within the south transept. A major phase of landscaping was identified, dating from the remodelling of the churchyard in 1826, which had involved the building of a new rectilinear boundary wall, and the levelling of the interior.
