In 1973, part of the graveyard of the redundant St Giles' Church was lowered by machine to make a private car park. The construction work was not preceded by archaeological investigations but observations were made during the building operations. The surface of the cemetery before the earth-moving operations began rose steeply towards the south-east corner of the site with the result that most of the excavated soil derived from that part of the site. This left two substantial sections through the cemetery in which various observations were made including a substantial quantity of dumped soil, partially comprised of the remains of walls from destroyed medieval buildings and a lime kiln, in addition to several burials. <1>
