Description
In July 1992, contractors dug a narrow trench by hand around the east end of the church for electrical ducting. The trench was around 300-350mm wide, and around 500-600mm deep, and the staff were under instructions to leave any masonry footings in situ for archaeological recording. After recording, the features were removed by hand.
