Abstract: |
Archaeological mitigation associated with the repair and replacement of the boundary wall around the St. Mark's Church in Portobello. Some sections of the boundary wall were considered unsafe and needed to be rebuilt. New wall foundations were required, potentially impacting upon the adjacent burials. Addyman Archaeology have produced a measured hand drawing of all boundary walls, complete with a detailed photographic record, have monitored the demolition of the wall, and have undertaken any excavations required for the installation of new foundations. A foundation trench was dug along this section, 7.67m in length and 0.75m in width, to a depth of 0.60m according to the specified wall foundation parameters. Six grave cuts within five grave plots were seen, while a number of brick grave plot kerbs were also noted during excavation. No human remains or charnel material was encountered during this exercise. |
