Abstract: |
Archaeological attendance, inspection and recording (watching brief) was undertaken by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at All Saint's Church, Church Street, Seagrave, Leicestershire. The work took place in June 2013 during the excavation of a trench around the north, east, and south side of the church to a maximum depth of 0.60m. No archaeological features were found within the trench. Disarticulated human bone was recorded on the southern side around the porch where the construction of later buttresses had disturbed a number of burials. A single articulated burial was also recorded cut in into the yellow natural clay approximately 0.80m below ground level. As this lay below the disturbance level it was left in situ and covered over. No evidence was identified for earlier structures and it is possible that any evidence of a Saxon church has either been obliterated by the construction of the present building or else lies directly beneath the present church. |
