Abstract: |
John Moore Heritage Services carried out the monitored excavations for archaeological and human remains at St Michael's Church, Cumnor, Oxfordshire (NGR SP4614 0414). During the scheme of purposed work, charnel and four articulated human burials were unearthed. These four articulated burials were all found within a 10m radius from the North entrance to the church in the existing graveyard. Three burials were recorded, removed and reburied in the same location after works had completed the ground reductions in the area. A further burial was recorded but left in situ. Three additional burials were found at the limit of excavation but were covered over and left undisturbed. The Faculty issued by the church Diocese was adhered to at all times and all human burials were treated in accordance to their instruction therein. In addition to the human remains, one medieval floor tile was recovered in Test Pit 3 on the interior of the church. This was retained on the premises. Finally, in unmonitored works to the North Porch, the workmen found an architectural element which appears (from photographic analysis only) to be a medieval finial, possibly damaged in its carving. This too remains in the possession of the church. |
