Abstract:		 A single trench was excavated to a depth of 1m below the floor of the south transept of St. Mary's Church. The earliest evidence encountered was a pair of deposits predating the Norman architectural elements of the church. A brick recovered from these was identified as Roman in date and additional fragments of Roman brick and tile were recovered from later deposits. A foundation trench containing some heavily compacted alternating bands of sandy clay and flint rubble, which dated from the late 11th to early 12th centuries was cut through the earlier deposits. The foundation supported a column that formed part of the Romanesque axial tower situated at the eastern end of the church. A further foundation trench containing mortared flint and dating from the 13th century was cut through the earlier foundation. This foundation supported part of an Early English arch which formed part of the nave of the church. Two graves containing inhumations were excavated. The skeletal remains were incomplete due to disturbance from subsequent grave digging, which had also introduced many pieces of disarticulated human bone into the backfills of the graves. [Au(abr)]
