Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out by Cornwall Archaeological Unit at St Martin's church, Liskeard in advance of the replacement of areas of the church floor and during the excavation of service trenches. The archaeological recording was commissioned by St Martin's Church and was carried out between February and April 2018. The church is a Grade II* Listed Building of medieval origin and the remit of the archaeological watching brief was to look out for archaeological material and burials associated with earlier phases of the church. During the groundworks disarticulated human bones were recorded within the make-up level beneath the existing floor and the tops of a number of grave cuts were revealed. In addition, six large granite blocks, which may have been pew supports, were uncovered. |
