Description
1978. Comments from A.E. Collins.
At the Church, in the adjoining cemetery area. Development is unlikely but negotiations are taking place for advance archaeological excavation before grave digging destroys this area. Grave diggers report much pottery, black holes and hard 'concrete' floors. The Great Chesterford Archaeology Group have for some years observed all such digging and together with a detailed survey will shortly have prepared a report. <1>
