August 2014-July 2015. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of various groundworks undertaken as part of a lengthy programme of conservation and improvement works at St Nicholas Chapel.
Two of the trenches excavated exposed the the footings of the extant churchyard boundary wall. In both cases these foundations lay above earlier footings of a notably different fabric that presumably represent the remains of an earlier wall.
See report (S2) and NHER 62689 for further details.
