Abstract: |
Between April 2007 and July 2008 ASC Ltd carried out a watching brief at St Michael's Church, Steeple Claydon, Buckinghamshire during groundworks for the construction of the new parish room. A large quantity of disarticulated human bone fragments was recovered during ground reduction and the excavation of foundation trenches. Two partial skeletons were uncovered during excavation of a new septic tank. These were of probable 18th or 19th century date, and the only obvious sign of pathology was some tooth decay to the second of these skeletons. These were removed under faculty and retained at the church for reburial. No archaeologically significant finds were observed during this watching brief, but five 19th century tombstones that had been reused as a footpath outside the vestry were noted, and fragments of 19th and 20th century pottery, glass and ceramic grave markers were also observed. |
