Abstract: |
An archaeologist was present to monitor the hand excavations and inspect all material being up-cast. Appropriate written, drawn and photographic records were made in accordance with ASWYAS watching brief guidelines and site recording manual. The watching brief on the service trench uncovered a small amount of disarticulated human bone just outside the western door of the church. As the natural deposits were not exposed in this section of the trench it was imposable to determine whether there were any grave cuts. The presence of disarticulated bone does, however, suggest that graves may well extend to the west of the church and may not therefore be confined within the present graveyard. With the long history of the church dating back from at least the 10th century this would not be surprising. A short length of ha-ha was also exposed at the southern end of the trench. This is clearly part of the same feature which survives 20m to the west. The section of ha-ha exposed appears to have been in filled and covered suggesting that the path to the church did not always follow its present course. No further archaeological features or finds were recovered or identified during the course of the watching brief. |
