A scheme of test pitting and monitoring relating to the construction of a new path and associated conduit was undertaken between September 2022 and February 2023. The northernmost test pits recorded human remains, while the southernmost pits did not. The monitoring of the path suggested a possible former boundary wall, outside of which the land had been landscaped and its level reduced, and that the churchyard had been enlarged at a later date to include the land formerly enclosed within the boundary wall. {5}{6}
