What is recorded here

Archaeological testing (96E0118) in advance of a graveyard extension explored an area (dims c. 60m E-W; c. 30m N-S) N of the old graveyard. An E-W ditch (Wth of top 2.3-3.5m; D 1.3) with stratified layers was encountered in two trenches c. 5m from the graveyard wall and parallel with it. Immediately outside this feature a larger fosse (Wth of top 4m plus; D 2.3m plus) was encountered, and both of these ditches may be from the N edge of an ecclesiastical enclosure.
