Wootton, H., 2025, Archaeological monitoring and recording at St Andrew's Church, South Huish, Devon (Report - Watching Brief). SDV366610.

A programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken during works associated with the construction of a new retaining wall at St Andrew's Churchyard which included the removal of a collapsed section of graveyard wall. This exposed a dark brown silty sand with frequent slate fragments interpreted as historic made ground probably resulting from earlier works. No deposits, features or dating evidence of earlier archaeological activity was found.
