Description

{1} Archaeological monitoring was carried out during the excavation of a trench to locate and repair a burst sewer pipe within the graveyard to the west of the church. Numerous pieces of disarticulated human skeletal remains were recovered during these works. No in situ remains were found, all of the recovered bone had been subjected to significant post-depositional disturbance. The remains were collected and bagged by the archaeologist on site and, at the direction of the vicar, re-buried within the trench.
