Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE) was commissioned by Lee Evans Partnership LLP on behalf of Ashington Parochial Church Council to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring at St. Peter and St. Paul's Church, Ashington, West Sussex (NGR: TQ 12884 15886) during internal reordering works and external service excavations. Natural Head geology was encountered at a maximum height of 30.07m AOD in a small undisturbed area west of the altar platform inside the church. The finds assemblage comprising mainly medieval and post-medieval CBM and pottery sherds is quite typical for a church site. Although four graves were encountered within the South Aisle during ground reduction, only two were impacted by the reordering works as a result of their height above the required formation level. These graves were fully recorded and the skeletal remains were lifted for re-interment outside of the development area. A small quantity of disarticulated bone fragments were encountered during ground reduction in the area of the South Aisle and were retained by the Church for reburial. |
