Description

Archaeological monitoring of a drainage trench revealed the top of the post-medieval brick vault. The lower courses of the north wall and an adjoining stone buttress were encountered in a hand-dug pit. Inside the church the remains of a blocked stone doorway were identified in the west wall of the north aisle. These features were recorded and preserved in-situ.
