Church of the Holy Rood, Ampney Crucis, Gloucestershire

On September 1st and 4th, 2006, Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out an archaeological excavation and watching brief at the Church of the Holy Rood, Ampney Crucis, Gloucestershire (NGR: SU 0650 0189). The work was commissioned by ASTAM GBC Consulting in advance of the excavation of new drainage trenches and a borehole. The excavations revealed deep deposits of made ground either side of the Transept, the depth of the foundations of the Transept, Nave and Vestry and the presence of inhumations adjacent to the Transept, Nave and Vestry. No evidence for any of the earlier phases of church construction was encountered.
