Full Description
Churchyard of St Andrew's Church (NHER 7412).
October 2014. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of drainage works.
The excavation of a soakaway pit in the north-east corner of the churchyard revealed a small portion of a flint and mortar wall or foundation. This was exposed at the base of the deep pit, which prevented any further investigation of this structure. It is unclear why it lay at such a depth below the present ground level. It is possible that excess spoil from grave digging had been mounded at the margins of the churchyard, although no disarticulated human remains were noted during the excavation of the soakaway.
The excavation of a number of much shallower surface water drains revealed nothing of archaeological interest.
No finds were recovered during this work.
