Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with the construction of new drainage works and connections within the churchyard and adjoining land of St Katherine and St Peter's Church, Winterbourne Bassett, Wiltshire. The watching brief identified an earlier pit feature that has been cut by the church foundations, which date from the mid-13th century. The pottery recovered from the fill of the pit dates to the 11th or 12th centuries, possibly relating this pit to an earlier phase of church construction on the site. Twelve east/west aligned burials, including four infant inhumations, were also exposed during the watching brief, mainly to the east of the vestry and chancel, in Areas A and B, with two burials located outside of the churchyard to the east in Area C. These burials are all likely to date to the 18th to mid-19th centuries. |
