Abstract: |
Terrain Archaeology carried out a programme of archaeological observations and recording during the manual excavation of three structural engineer's test pits at three locations south and west of the Grade II* Listed Parish Church of St Mary, Chickerell, West Dorset. All three pits exposed elements of the medieval or later foundations of the church. Pit 3, sited adjacent to the north west corner of the early nineteenth century North Aisle, also revealed the upper legs of an older articulated uncoffined human skeleton, buried supine with head to the west. This discovery confirms previous site observations that the north aisle was built out over parts of the churchyard formerly used for burial. |
