Abstract: |
The work associated with this project was carried out by staff from HFA, in accordance with the written scheme of investigation for archaeological monitoring works produced by HFA, (ibid.) and with reference to the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists 2014 (d) Standard and Guidance for archaeological watching brief.
The scheme of works comprised the monitoring and recording of deposits and features following the excavation of two test pits.
Standard Humber Field Archaeology recording procedures were used throughout; each identified feature was allocated a context number, with written descriptions recorded on pro forma sheets. Plans and sections were drawn to scale on pre-printed permatrace sheets. A digital photographic record was maintained. The locations of the test pits and the level of the features were surveyed relative to the Ordnance Survey National Grid and Ordnance Datum respectively. In September 2021 a programme of archaeological monitoring works was undertaken by Humber Field Archaeology during the excavation of test pits at the north porch at the Church of Saint Swithin, Church Lane, Sproatley, East Riding of Yorkshire, HU11 4PR.
The two test pits revealed that the current north porch (a circa 1866, or later, addition) rests poorly above the slighted remains of a likely late medieval/post-medieval section of a probable former north porch which would have been demolished in the early part of the 19th century i.e. prior to the white brick build between 1814 and 1820. It is the poor positioning of the above ground build on the lower, re-used foundation which appears to have contributed significantly to the current state of the north porch. |
