Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief and excavation was undertaken prior to development. Trenches 1 and 2 revealed a post-medieval make-up deposit containing disarticulated human bone. Pit 1 was excavated under a post-medieval pavement and contained the backfill of an earlier archaeological test pit, which sealed a medieval chalk wall, possibly related to the 13th century nunnery. Pit 2 revealed a series of medieval and early post-medieval dumping deposits that were sealed by a post-medieval pavement. Pit 3 contained a post-medieval cut aligned E-W and disarticulated human bone, which had truncated an undated dumping deposit and was sealed by a post-medieval pavement. In pit 4, a series of medieval and early post-medieval dumping deposits were revealed, sealed by a post-medieval pavement. The ground reduction programme within the churchyard revealed a badly truncated early post-medieval brick built crypt, containing disarticulated human bone. [Au(abr)] |
