Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief during building works undertaken at St Nicholas' Church, Brockenhurst, Hampshire centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 430525, 101760. The watching brief was required as a condition of the planning permission granted by the New Forest National Park Authority (Planning Reference 09/94199), for a single storey side extension forming a new disabled access and toilet. The excavation of an area of ground (previously beneath a concrete floor in an extension to the church built in 1908) was completed under archaeological supervision. The groundworks revealed the presence of post-medieval burials (three infants and four adults) as well as a large amount of disarticulated bone. The human remains were mainly below the formation level for a new solid floor and were left in situ. Two infant burials were above the formation level so were lifted for reburial elsewhere in the church yard, along with the disarticulated human bone. |
