Abstract:		 Buiding works requiring monitoring comprised both internal and external excavations Inside the church, the works comprised the removal of the floor and the reduction of the ground level by approximately 0.3m in the transept and 0.5m in an adjoining portion of the nave. Outside the church the works comprised the excavation of three exploratory test pits, followed by pits for three soakaways and associated inspection chambers, and trenches for a French drain and connecting pipe runs. The archaeological investigations found little of interest in the soakaway excavations. Disarticulated human remains and a possible grave were identified to the south-west of the church in one of the three soakaway pits The excavation of the French drain trench enabled the full circumference of the church foundations to be recorded. The full depth of the wall foundations were never exposed in the works, although they were deep enough to show variations in construction. Re-used architectural masonry was present throughout the foundations as exemplified by the presence of finely dressed and occasionally moulded stones. The excavation works within the church revealed several interesting aspects of its history including an early floor level in the nave, architectural elements of the chancel and transepts arches and the remnants of the demolished south wall of the nave. Later additions to the church such as a brick burial vault were also uncovered.
