Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken on graveyard clearance ahead of the construction of building extensions to the church hall at the rear of the United Reform Church, Abbey Lane, Saffron Walden. In total, 41 burial plots were encountered and the exhumation of 117 individuals observed and recorded within the footprints of the building extensions. In addition, underlying pre-graveyard archaeological horizons and remains were identified and recorded. This work has collated information on the 18th to 19th century graves that supplements that of the known burial records of the United Reformed Church. It has also verified the widespread presence of a deep and uniform stratified sequence comprising graves cut into made-ground that in turn overlies the original buried land-surface/cultivation soil of the lower valley slope on the south side of the Slade river. A single inhumation grave, probably of Roman or Saxon date, and several isolated potential archaeological features were observed at the bottom of this sequence that may constitute outliers of the settlement and burial activity of this date previously excavated in near-by Gibson Close.
