A small quantity of redeposited human bone was identified in the graveyard soil in April 1998, during archaeological monitoring of the installation of a new electrical service to the Church of St Nicholas. None of the fragments could be closely dated, and all were reburied in the churchyard after the works were completed. {2}{3}
A further small quantity of redeposited human bone was identified in the graveyard soil in February 2009, during archaeological monitoring of the installation of a new sewer pipe at the Church of St Nicholas. Again, none of the fragments could be closely dated, and all were reburied in the churchyard after the works were completed. {4}{5}
