Trial trenching by A.E. Collins at the Country Club (now Bishop's House) and in the churchyard, Great Chesterford, in 1986 or 1996 - EEX64186

In 1986 (<1>), Collins excavated a number of trenches within the grounds of the Country Club (now Bishop'd House) and in the churchyard in an attempt to trace the wall of the Second Walled Enclosure. Trenches 2a and 2b were at right-angles to the northern boundary wall of the churchyard. Trenches 3a and 3b were dig at right angles to the line of the 17th century mill-race. A further ten trenches (locations not recorded) were dug along the presumed eastern line of the Second Walled Enclosure, revealing extensive post-medieval and modern disturbance. Note: Elsewhere in source<1>, an alternative description is given of this intervention, describing the work as having been carried out in 1996. See <2>.
