| Abstract: |
Watching brief on extension to east end of church. The archaeological observation of the construction groundworks at St Mary''s Church, Felmersham identified the remains of at least nine individuals within four separate burials located to the south-east of the church. Although there were a number of gravestones in the area, none appeared to be associated with the remains uncovered. No evidence to enable the burials to be dated was recovered from the graves although the lack of coffin remains and the relative shallowness of the burials suggest a medieval or early post-medieval date. The rubble layer identified at the east end of the church probably represents evidence of building activity in that area and may be associated with the construction of the church itself or later drainage works. |
