Watching Brief (28 November 2017)
NT 14458 77483 A watching brief was undertaken, 28 November 2017, during the excavation and replacement of a drainage pipe within the graveyard. A small amount of unstratified charnel was identified within the topsoil; this was not retained but was reburied within the excavations. Current and lapsed services (drainage and electrical) were also noted. The fragments of human remains (charnel) discovered in the excavations are representative of a graveyard soil.
