Title:
Report on the Results of Archaeological Monitoring during Re-surfacing and Drainage Works in the Churchyard to the South of the Parish Church of St Bartholomew, Corsham, Wilsthire (605132)
Description:
Report on the results of an archaeological monitoring exercise during re-surfacing and drainage works written by James Brigers in June 2017 on behalf of the Parochial Church Council of St Bartholomew, Corsham. A watching brief was conducted through March and April 2017. Burials were found including for infants and adults. To the south of the church a double-chambered lined grave was exposed which did not respect the alignment of others in the area; this appeared to have been re-used in the 18th century and may be considerably earlier. A wall was found which might represent the remains of an earlier structure. At the western edge of the churchyard the surface of a probable road or track was identified, sealed by material containing a sherd of medieval pottery, and may indicate the eastward continuation of the line of the earlier version of Church Street prior to the establishment of the current form of the churchyard.
