Abstract: |
Two test pits initially examined the ground within the area to be excavated on the north-west side of the Church. These pits identified that a sequence of deposits survives adjacent to the tower. The brick foundation of probable 19th-century construction was located, but the overburden of topsoil and potential graveyard deposits were seen below levelling deposits up to a depth of between 0.7m to 0.9m. During observations of the footing excavation for the new structure, graveyard deposits were reached and three areas of human remains were located. Of the three, skeleton 50 by the tower was the most complete and undisturbed. It was lifted and kept at the Church for reburial. |
