June 2017. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with installation of new drain and soakaway in churchyard.
This work revealed a single shallow pit containing mortar, flint and brick building rubble. This pit could be seen to cut through the topsoil and was therefore almost certainly a modern feature.
No finds were recovered.
See report (S3) for further details.
