Abstract: |
A condition placed on planning consent for the construction of an extension, with associated services, on the north side of All Saints'' Church, Cople, Bedfordshire, led to the implementation of a programme of archaeological works. The ground-works for the development comprised the excavation of footing trenches for the extension, and two service trenches. Excavation of the trenches revealed the remains of a medieval cemetery and a large medieval pit immediately north of the church. The graves were all aligned east-west. Evidence was found that the ground level in the churchyard had subsequently been raised by up to 0.85m. For this reason, the undisturbed natural gravel was only reached in the footing trenches, and further remains may have been preserved in situ beneath the service trenches. |
