Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE) was commissioned by Thomas Ford and Partners, Chartered Architects Surveyors on behalf of Wrotham Parochial Church Council to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring at St. George's Church, Wrotham, Kent (NGR: TQ 61193 59186) during external drainage works. This work took place between 28th June and 12th July 2010. Natural geology comprising weathered chalk was encountered in Soakaway 3 at a depth of 1.3m below ground surface. The articulated skeletal remains of four individuals were encountered during the ground works at depths of between 0.7m and 1.3m. These were recorded and lifted for reburial within the cemetery. A few unstratified medieval and post-medieval ceramic building materials as well as frequent disarticulated human bone fragments were found within the cemetery soil across the site. All human bone fragments were recovered from the cemetery soil for re-interment by the church. |
