Abstract: |
The watching brief identified a number of in situ burials. In addition to the burials, two archaeological features were located. In a sewer trench, parallel lines of brickwork were believed to have indicated the remains of a brick-lined vault or grave. A foundation trench partly revealed a pit containing bands of mortar debris. Its interpretation was uncertain, but the bands of mortar in the feature suggested that it was possibly related to construction work. No dating evidence was recovered but the presence of a series of burials above the pit indicated that it was not modern. It seemed likely that it also predated the 19th century rebuilding of the church. A small number of sherds of medieval and late medieval pottery were found in the soil from the trenches. [Au(abr)] |
