Description of Archaeology and History
Archaeology
Chamfered plinths of east and north walls are buried below ground level in churchyard. Observation of trenches in 2008 showed that the apparent mound on which the church stands is upcast from its construction. To the east of the church it overlies a former ground surface with indications of possible ridge and furrow or former grave cuts. The mound material to the southwest of the church contained roof and floor tile fragments, a lens of lime mortar, worked masonry, and pottery of 13th to 17th century date. An unsurfaced hollowed path aligned on the 17th century tower was found under later path surfaces. Very little human bone was found. Painted masonry blocks found on east wall of south aisle and painted plaster fragments in wall core.
