Abstract: |
Two 2m x 2m trenches were excavated by hand, one on each side of the nave, and observation of several boreholes were carried out. The earliest archaeological features were of probable Anglo-Saxon date and appeared to be of a structural nature. A number of Anglo-Saxon burials succeeded these features, one was accompanied by a willow rod and bead and covered by a wooden board, the remainder were in wooden coffins and all were preserved by waterlogging. The early burials were on a different alignment and may have been focussed on a nearly church. Further burials, preceding the earliest stone structural remains were also recovered, and extensive sequences of burials post-dated the construction of the extant 14th century nave. The earliest stone structural remains were of 12th-13th century. [Au(adp)] |
