Archaeology Notes

NT57SW 2.01 centred 5181 7360

(NT 518 736) A watching brief was undertaken in June 2003 during the excavation of a cable trench running from the W entrance of the churchyard, along the path bounding St Mary's Church to the N, to the NW corner of the churchyard and beyond to the NNW. Two lateral trenches extended southwards along the W facade of the church and along the W wall of the N transept. The only archaeological features were encountered in the first of these lateral trenches to the NW of the NW corner of the nave. Here four burial cuts were encountered at 0.2-0.3m below the surface. In situ inhumations were revealed within two of these cuts at 0.4-0.5m below the surface, but were not disturbed further.
