Watching Brief at Church of St Mary, Buckland

Monitoring of linear soakaway trench excavation on the north side and to the north-east of the church. Despite the fact that the trench crossed a historic part of the churchyard, at depths of up to 1.4m, no articulated skeletal remains were found. Only 14 disarticulated bones were found, in two small groups (3 and 11 bones). They were reburied in the trench when it was backfilled on the same day as the excavation. There were no finds.
