Abstract: |
In October 2014, Archaeological Solutions Ltd conducted a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording in the churchyard of the Church of the Holy Cross, Station Road, Felsted, Essex. The project was undertaken in compliance with a requirement attached to planning approval for the construction of a new church hall. The Grade I listed Church of the Holy Cross dates from the 12th century with 14th and 15th century additions and 19th-20th century restorations. In the event the project encountered 40 early modern/ modern graves containing 41 inhumations. One instance of multiple (two) inhumations occupying a single grave was recorded. The excavated burial population was largely made up of adults (c.76%) interred within simple, earth-cut graves. Four c. 19th century brick-lined shaft graves and an undated ditch were also present. The artefactual evidence suggests that at least 18 of the encountered inhumations were buried in coffins. |
