Description
{2} Archaeological monitoring of the hand-excavated French drain (which encompassed almost the entire footprint of the church) and machine-excavated soakaway pits took place during August 2017. The French drain trench was typically c. 0.60 wide and 0.9m deep. The soakaway pits were c. 2m long, 1.5m wide and up to 1.4m deep. The full depth of the wall foundations were never exposed in the works, although the trench was deep enough to reveal some variations in construction. The soakaway dug to the south-west of the church revealed ten graves dug to various depths.
