During a watching brief, dump deposits containing human bone fragments were recorded. These deposits were thought to represent landscaping. Remnants of a north/south aligned limestone wall, possibly part of an earlier churchyard boundary, were recorded, the wall having apparently been slighted and material from it used for landscaping purposes. A possible drainage gully and a possible grave were also recorded. {7}{8}
