Abstract: |
Greenlane Archaeology monitored groundworks associated with the installation of water pipes for a new heating system at the Priory Church of St Mary and St Michael, Cartmel. The groundworks were relatively shallow, generally comprising the hand excavation of a shallow narrow trench, and revealed a similar sequence of deposits to that encountered during a similar piece of work carried out in 1991. In each area an upper deposit of loose made ground was encountered, typically containing some human bone and occasional other finds, such as medieval pottery and clay tobacco pipe. An area of stones and a couple of areas of lime-rich deposits were also encountered which may relate to earlier surfaces or footings. Some elements of the disturbed burials beneath the current flag stone floor could date to the medieval period. |
