Description
1847. Antiquarian observation.
In 1847, the digging of foundations for the school adjoining the north-east corner of the churchyard prompted the discovery of a Roman finds assemblage, see EHER 4958. Other finds included a penny of Edward II, Irish-type, an Irish halfpenny of George I, parts of the antlers of a deer, one horseshoe and portions of another. There had been a pond on this site which was infilled in 1844 prior to the digging of the foundations. <1>
