Abstract: |
Hand excavation of foundation pits and trenches and archaeological monitoring were undertaken prior to and during building works, at the site of a new vestry which lay within the graveyard of a medieval church which was a Grade I Listed Building. Within two excavated pits, burials dating to the last quarter of the 19th century were revealed which had not disturbed a phase of earlier burials which lay beneath. The earlier burials, however, had disturbed interments of a greater antiquity. Two further pits exposed the church footings down to the bedrock, as well as a buttress. Burials were seen below the footings, 1m below the level of the old vestry door. Many further burials and some disturbed bones were recorded within excavated trenches, and several artefacts were recovered. These included a fragment of Roman tegula, a sherd of medieval or possibly prehistoric pottery, a medieval ridge tile fragment, a Roman pottery sherd and a small number of medieval sherds. [AIP] |
