Abstract: |
During July 2007 Albion Archaeology carried out an archaeological field evaluation on land adjacent to The Old Vicarage, High Street, Flitton, Bedfordshire, on behalf of the landowners. The evaluation comprised the excavation of a trial trench approximately 20m2 in area. Around 0.80m of overburden was removed from the trench before archaeological remains were encountered. These remains comprised at least 15 human burials on a broadly east-west orientation, and probably dating to the early medieval period. The discovery of this cemetery confirms that a church stood in the village in the early medieval period, and also suggests that this earlier structure may have been sited at a different location to the existing 15th-century building. |
