Description
{1} Monitoring of refurbishment groundworks. During the watching brief post-medieval makeup layers were excavated and an undated occupation/floor layer was exposed. Medieval pottery was found beneath this surface, which was cut by the south wall of the building. Outside the building service trenches exposed a major east to west aligned medieval wall which was extremely shallowly buried and extended the long axis of the chapel eastward; it was encroached upon by human burials of the post-medieval period further east.
