Abstract: |
A Phase 2 archaeological watching brief was carried out on the groundworks pertaining to the part removal and reinstatement of a second section of the post-medieval eastern churchyard boundary wall. All of the groundworks pertaining to this project, which comprised the hand removal and dismantling of a second section of the stone walling of the eastern churchyard boundary wall were continually monitored and recorded. This second section adjoined the reconstructed first section, which had been monitored earlier in 2014. The dismantling by hand of the second section of the dry stone wall fabric of the eastern churchyard boundary wall involved the removal of the outer wall face which consisted of uncoursed and unmortared very roughly faced, shaped and worked angular limestone fragments, an inner rubble core composed of further angular limestone fragments within matrices of redeposited graveyard soils and redeposited natural and the very partial removal of the inner wall face to the south-east, composed of the same material as the corresponding outer wall face. The partial removal of this inner face exposed in turn a small area of graveyard soils. However, because most of the inner face of the wall and the basal foundation stones were left in situ, no further graveyard soils or that of the underlying natural subsoil horizon were exposed. There were no finds from this archaeological watching brief and no further fragments of disarticulated human bone were found. |
