SNN105590 - Archaeological Excavation, St Bartholomew's Church, Greens Norton, Northamptonshire

A single trench was hand excavated by Northamptonshire Archaeology adjacent to St. Bartholomew’s Church, Greens Norton prior to a proposed extension. The work took place to fulfil the brief set by the Diocesan Advisory Committee’s archaeological advisor and in pursuance of an agreed works specification. The church is of Saxon origin and the trench was to establish if Anglo-Saxon or medieval remains survive within the area of the proposed development. At a depth of 1.20m there was no evidence for Saxon or medieval remains, but between 1.20m and 1.70m below ground surface burials may be present, although these are undated.
