Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during the excavation of foundation trenches for an extension to a library, at a site which lay within the precinct of a 12th century priory. One end of the priory church probably lay within 10m of the extension. During the watching brief, the grave of an adult male, probably contemporary with the priory, was revealed. A sherd of Roman pottery, two sherds of 13th century pottery and redeposited fragments of human bone were found. A small post hole and three gullies, one of which contained a sherd of 12th century pottery and fragments of animal bone, were also recorded. It was concluded that the library probably lay over a cemetery at the west end of the church. [AIP] |
