Full Description
October 2004. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of excavation of soakaway and connecting trenches in north side of churchyard.
No remains were exposed in the shallow trenches. Four incomplete human skeletons - associated with the medieval burial ground of the church - were however disturbed during the excavation of the soakaway. A single sherd of residual Roman pottery and another of late medieval date were retrieved from the spoil.
See report (S1) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S2).
