What is recorded here

Death and memory are entangled there. The living built a graveyard above older marks, and those marks still lie beneath the new ground. To excavate the place is to ask whether the dead belong to one time or several. The answer may be that they belong to all the times the ground has held them.

Archaeological testing (96E0118) in advance of a graveyard extension explored an area (dims c. 70m E-W; c. 30m N-S) S of the old graveyard and encountered features in each of five NNE-SSW trenches. Amongst these is a fosse or drain (Wth of top 1.1m; D 0.4m) that might be extending E-W across the entire area and a number of pits (diam. 1.5m; D 0.6m to diam. 3m; D 0.5m). The graveyard extension was placed further N of the old graveyard and the archaeological features in that area (ME011-037001-) are now largely preserved beneath a parking area.
