Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with construction of a new extension at the western end of the North Aisle and associated works at Holy Cross Church, Hankerton, Wiltshire. Structural elements associated with the church were identified during the watching brief. These comprised wall footings associated with construction of the north wall of the Tower and the west wall of the North Aisle. The arched doorway within the west wall of the North Aisle was found to have been blocked during or after the 16th to 17th centuries. A deposit (dating to the 14th century) may have related to the repair or construction of part of the church. The watching brief also identified two previously unrecorded east/west-aligned inhumation burials within the eastern part of the North Aisle of the church. Although undated artefactually these are believed to be of medieval or later date. No burials were identified within the service trenches in the churchyard. |
