Abstract: |
The assessment has revealed the presence of prehistoric, Roman, Anglo-Saxon, medieval and post-medieval features and findspots in the vicinity of the Abbey. The primary importance of the site lies, however, in the Abbey and it's associated grounds and cemetery. The results of the assessment suggest that the archaeological potential of the study area is high, although the proposed sub-surface disturbance is unlikely to impact upon any significant archaeological deposits. Disturbed human bone is likely to be present throughout the area of the churchyard, but this will result in an archaeological constraint only where articulated burials are encountered. The test-pitting suggests that articulated skeletal material may be present within the subsoil, although the only remains encountered were at a depth below the minimum depths required for the cabling and plinths. |
