SNN108083 - An Archaeological Watching Brief at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Gayton, Northamptonshire, January 2008

An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during groundworks connected with new drainage works. The drainage trench works comprised the excavation of a new drainage trench which extended from the north-east corner of the church across the churchyard to the northern wall of the churchyard adjacent to the main entrance. Articulated burials were noted at a depth varying between 0.3, and 0.5m, the variance in depth as a result of the higher ground level in the north west corner of the churchyard. No archaeological depostis were present, and no artefacts were recovered.
