Abstract: |
The purpose of the works was to introduce a toilet and refreshment facilities in the church and to insert a new electric cable and a water pipe and also to construct a trench-arch drain to the north of the north porch. The works inside the church involved minor reduction of the floor level in the north-west corner of the north aisle. The external works comprised; machine excavation of a service trench around the west end of the church and machine excavation of trench for construction of an arch-drain in the church yard on the north side of the building. The trenches were machined by the building contractors under archaeological supervision. No significant observations were made inside the building. The floor level was reduced down to the level of a concrete layer. Externally the trenches were cut through topsoil and undifferentiated subsoil/grave earth. A small amount of disarticulated human bone was recovered, mainly in the trench at the west end of the church. This was reburied in the church yard during the groundworks. |
