Report on Archaeological Monitoring for 626526 Stanfield: St Margaret
Archaeological monitoring was undertaken between 20th March - 20th April 2017during drainage works at St Margaret’s Church, Stanfield. It led to the recording of some of the church footings and part of one possible cut feature close to the north side of the church; its purpose was uncertain but it might, possibly, have related to previous drainage work. Part of a burial was exposed in one of the small trenches at the south side of the church but its excavation was unnecessary as it was below the depth required for the drains. A few fragments of disarticulated human bone were recovered from the excavated trenches. They were left in the care of the church for reburial in the churchyard. No finds were recovered during the work at the site.
