Full Description

{1} Nothing was visible in the area where pipes were being laid between the porch and the edge of the church yard.

{2} A probable medieval grave soil was seen which included some disarticulated human remains as well as mid-late 12th century pottery and medieval glass. A similar grave earth was found to the north of the vestry by the north aisle, where disarticulated human remains as well as a mid 13th century sherd of pottery was uncovered. This seems to indicate that this part of the site has not been disturbed by post medieval intrusion although it is possibly all re-deposited grave fill.

{3} Boundary shown on Church Survey plan but may have altered over time
