| 546522 | RECORDING | ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVALUATION | Four evaluation trenches were excavated in June 1999 along the sea wall bounding the E side of the ruin of St Andrew's Old Church and its former churchyard (NMRS NT 58 NE 3). The E limit of in situ archaeological deposits was defined following the excavation of late 19th-century fill behind the sea wall in three of the trenches. This edge represented the extent of coastal erosion up to the mid-19th century. A charnel pit was located in Trench 2, adjacent to the original N transept, that contained the remains of some 30 inhumations, considered to have been the product of excavations of the church site in the early 1950s by J Richardson. Three in situ inhumations were also identified 0.3m below the existing surface but were left undisturbed. | June 1999 |
| 546524 | RECORDING | WATCHING BRIEF | The excavation of a service trench behind the sea wall was monitored in October 1999. Two significant finds were made: a dump of disarticulated human remains to the E of the porch, redeposited following the construction of the sea wall; and a group of inhumations within in situ archaeological deposits to the NE of the N transept and approximately 1m below the present surface. Of the inhumations, six were fully excavated (all damaged by coastal erosion) and three further grave cuts identified. | October 1999 |
| 546525 | RECORDING | EXCAVATION | An open area excavation of some 150m2 was conducted in January and February 2000 on the N side of the church ruin to accommodate the access requirements for the new building. [...] | January 2000 |
