Abstract:		 The archaeological evaluation was designed to ascertain whether a proposed extension on the west side of the chapel would harm the buried remains of Offa's Dyke. A trial trench was excavated. The trial trench revealed natural geology as comprising a sandy silt with occasional sandstone at a depth of c.0.4 -0.5m below current ground surface. Most of the trench contained a horticultural deposit above the natural with 19th – 20th century artefactual evidence within, and a series of possible cultivation slots into the underlying natural. At the western end of the trench, however, a more compact deposit of sandy silt overlying a gravelly layer was found at 0.3m below the ground surface, and this deposit terminated abruptly c.1m from the western end of the trench. It is interpreted as a lynchet, or terrace edge, and historic mapping shows a property boundary in the approximate location of this feature. Historic mapping and field survey also confirmed the line of Offa’s Dyke as extending beneath the houses, chapel and burial ground that form the western side to Chapel Lane. It was concluded that there would be no harm to Offa’s Dyke from the proposed extension.
