Testing was undertaken on the site of a proposed extension to a graveyard at St Anne’s Church at Easky. The graveyard is located to the west of an abbey and a cross-slab. Three test-trenches were positioned within the area where new graves will be located. This site was until recently used as a garden. In the three trenches topsoil was relatively deep, up to 0.35m thick. It comprised a dark, well-worked and cultivated rich soil, reflecting its former use, i.e. a walled vegetable and fruit tree garden. No features were uncovered in any of the trenches.
