Abstract:		 The excavations have demonstrated St Botolph's chapel has Anglo-Saxon origins: several further fragments of the Anglo-Saxon cross head uncovered in the 2013 excavations were found, and the burial of an adult male adjacent to the chapel produced a radiocarbon date of 871-1013 AD. Two postholes within the chapel may be evidence of an earlier timber structure on the site, predating the stone chapel. A large stone-lined pit, probably a lime kiln pit, was dug into the hillside below the chapel. Two parallel stone walls leading up to the chapel were uncovered; these could be directly associated with either the chapel or the kiln, or land divisions. The excavation has provided a wealth of artefacts including further fragments of Anglo-Saxon cross, a medieval stone-carved head, medieval architectural window tracery, millstones, beads and a fragment of font.
