Sorry my direction wasn't very accurate.  Now actually checked on a map and it's more NNE :)   That should help narrow the location down...

You have it John Walker, it is the ruins of St Mary's Church, West Hythe.

Not a guess, just a slightly clearer image...

I could still claim the bragging rights as your initial question was 'what is the significance of the excavation, and for bonus bragging rights, what (possibly) was found therein'. Your picture only showed a small portion of the total excavation, which did reveal evidence of a Roman building. The locating of the grave within the chapel projecting from the earlier east end was a secondary discovery compared to the overall project, which covered almost the entire crypt floor area.

Moving on, here is my next, which despite it being a roughly 200 year old drawing the ruins have not changed much, but where is it?

MartinR, I should have caviated that other platforms and operating systems are availabe.
Your point regarding avoiding changing original images is also important. I have been known to overwrite originals and regretted it.

My phone camera routinely over exposes pictures however much I fiddle with its settings. so having free, readily available applications to adjust my pictures is useful. Maybe other members who are not aware might be interested to know that they can too.

Hi Local Hiker.  Point taken, but I always archive originals (just as I used to save negatives) and then fiddle with them later (akin to printing).  I'd run this through GIMP to shrink it from 5.6 MB down to 214 kB, and accepted the poor quality as a requirement of this forum.  Maybe a bit more fiddling next time.  BTW, don't assume that everyone is in thrall to Windows!
