Description
In March 1994 TPAT undertook a watching brief during environmental improvement work at Church Walk South, Newark. The area was approximately 570m2, situated between the church of St Mary Magdalene and the Market Place … the earth below the paving stones was excavated archaeologically and in general only those burials in the top 0.3-0.4m were excavated. In several cases, skeletons up to 0.5m deep were excavated. Where possible any skeletons below this level were left in situ. (1)
See E9024 for watching brief immediately to the east of this area, E9108 for watching brief on N side of church..
