Abstract: |
A watching brief at Coldingham Priory Church observed the construction of a new door in the southern elevation and its associated stair and footpath, ground reduction for an upgraded footpath serving the entrance porch, and the excavation of a trench and associated slapping through the south elevation for a foul pipe for a new toilet. A number of pieces of architectural stonework were recovered. These were incorporated in the construction of the present structure and are derived from the earlier monastic buildings on the site, from the 12th-13th century. The ground breaking works did not penetrate deep enough to uncover any articulated human remains or structural remains of previous buildings. The watching brief found a small amount of disarticulated human remains within the topsoil, which are probably from burials disturbed by the various phases of building works at the site. A small amount of post-medieval pottery and animal bone was also recovered. |
