Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during the excavation of post-holes and a cable trench at the site of an 11th century church, surrounded by a graveyard which had been used until the late 20th century. A Bronze Age cemetery where Late Saxon settlement remains had also been found lay 300m to the south-east, and Romano-British coins had been found to the north. Anglo-Saxon weapons had been recovered less than 200m to the west. During the watching brief, two sherds of medieval pottery, re-deposited natural containing fragments of human and animal bone, and topsoil deposits containing pottery, human and animal bone, glass, nails, clay pipe and pantile dating from the 14th-20th centuries were recorded. It was concluded that the redeposited natural had most probably formed as a result of continued grave digging. [AIP] |
