Full Description
Archaeological monitoring of groundworks revealed five un-marked burials at depths varying from 0.3m to 0.45m below the ground surface. The burials were un-coffined, closely spaced and lay within a neat row. The non-occurrence of overlapping graves suggests the burial date as pre 19th century. A 17th to 18th century brick lined tomb and brick built heating duct was also found. A tombstone dated 1801 was identified although it was not thought to be related to any of the burials. A 16th century aisle wall was exposed during the groundworks (S1).
