Abstract: |
Archaeological investigation were undertaken at St James' Church, Church Street, Harvington, near Evesham, Worcestershire (centred on NGR: SP 05706 48822). It was commissioned by Ward and Dale Smith, who intends to construct new welfare and storage facilities with associated drainage and groundworks. The six trenches revealed at least 32 inhumation burials, although ten of these comprised grave cuts that descended below the limit of excavation and a further 15 were associated with disarticulated remains, 13 of which were recovered from two charnel pits. Of the seven individuals that were seen in their entirety and lifted, one was an adult female, one was an adult male, two were adults of indeterminate sex, one was a probable young adult female and two were infants. None of the remains were removed from site or osteologically assessed. They have been placed within the church for future reburial. |
