Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken by John Moore Heritage Services over six days between the 18th and 25th September 2013. A new wheelchair access path was to be laid between the road and the north door, and, more importantly with regards to the potential archaeology on the site, a 3m deep pit was to be dug by mechanical digger in the east of the graveyard for a septic tank. 20 human skeletons were recovered for re-burial from the septic tank pit. Although several burial deposits contained coffin furniture and fittings most did not. As expected all were aligned west-east with the head at the west. |
