Abstract: |
Between September and November 2008 Archaeology South-East undertook an archaeological watching brief at St Mary's Church, Felpham (NGR: SZ 94930 99880) during works associated with an extension. The excavations revealed three vaulted brick tombs, twenty-two inhumation burials with articulated or semi-articulated skeletons and an east-west orientated wall which may have functioned as a former churchyard boundary. This was preserved in-situ. The skeletal remains that would have been impacted during the course of this development were excavated, recorded and exhumed for re-interment elsewhere within the church grounds. Natural chalk geology was encountered as sand at a maximum height of 3.46m AOD and as chalk at a maximum height of 3.38m AOD. No further archaeological features or deposits were observed during these works. |
