Description
A watching-brief on the removal of approximately 3m of the churchyard wall and two trial trenches were excavated against the property wall between the Old Vicarage and the churchyard. The source does not give a date for this work, but it is assumed to have taken place after the excavation and watching brief by D.A.G. Gadd and before the publication of source <1>. Source <1> gives a trench plan for trial trench 1, but does not give a location for trench 2. This record has subsequently been mapped only to trench 1.
NRHE data transfer:
Limited investigation of a probable Roman stone wall beneath the churchyard wall, suggested as part of the 'Stone Fort'.
