Parts of the church tower foundations were exposed in June 2007, during archaeological monitoring of the excavation of investigative trial pits. The foundations associated with the tower buttresses appeared substantial and extended below the level of investigation. A pit containing limestone chippings, thought to have also possibly formed part of the foundation deposits for the church tower, was recorded. {4}{5}
