| Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken in advance of the construction of a chapel to the south of the existing church. The site lay within the church graveyard. Three foundation trenches plus two internal trenches were hand excavated. Eighty-five in-situ human burials were encountered, recorded and removed. A single linear feature aligned east-west was found to cut across both the western and eastern foundation trenches, fragments of Bronze Age, Romano-British and Saxon pottery were removed from this feature. Three Bronze Age cinerary urns containing cremated material were also uncovered. The excavation provided evidence for the continual use of the churchyard from the end of the Saxon period through to the present day. [Au] |
