Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief on the contactor's excavation of trenches for the strengthening of the southern graveyard wall at St Leonard's Church revealed a brick burial vault and a large quantity of fragmented disarticulated human bone (this was reburied on site). The large quantity of bone close to the wall is probably the result of the re-deposition of bone collected during an apparent re-alignment of the graveyard wall in the 19th century. This realignment allowed a widening and straightening of Hythe Hill by removing a small area of the southern edge of the graveyard. |
