Abstract

This report describes excavations undertaken as part of the SERF project. A small trench was excavated along the north wall of the tower of St Serf’s Church, Dunning. The tower was shown to be of the same 12th-century date of construction as the church, as it was bonded into the nave in its lower courses. Part of the north wall of the tower re-used an earlier structure as a foundation, providing rare evidence for a pre-12th century stone building. An earlier burial running under this foundation shows earlier activity on a different alignment, presumably dating to the early medieval period. Later medieval burials were also found. Details of the construction of the medieval church were uncovered.
