Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment was carried out prior to the installation of new drains and a soak away at St Bridget's Old Church, Beckermet. The site is within the churchyard of the Grade II* Listed church, which has at least early medieval origins and contains two cross-shafts thought to be of 9th to 11th century date that are Scheduled Monuments. The proposal will cut across the location of the formerly oval-shaped graveyard boundary, which was extended in the late 19th century, and evidence pertaining to the earlier boundary might be exposed below ground. There is potential for archaeological remains dating from the early medieval period onwards being present, with earlier remains a lesser possibility, although this is uncertain since no previous archaeological work has been carried out at the site. |
