Abstract:		 During July 2008, a watching brief was undertaken at Barkway Church during groundworks associated with building work in the north aisle of the church, namely the construction of a new meeting room, toilet and associated service runs through the churchyard.The new drain run went through the footings of the west wall of the aisle and crossed the churchyard in a south westerly direction and terminated in a newly installed septic tank. An electricity cable followed the same trench as the drain from the church before branching off to the south. It then followed a path round the south side of the church, before turning northwards to the boiler room, located on the south side of the church. Both trenches were cut through disturbed soil but were not deep enough to disturb any burials. Whilst excavating the pit for the septic tank, four adult burials were revealed and lifted after recording. Though the excavated burials were unmarked, other headstones in the same row were dated to the third quarter of the 19th century. It is therefore likely that the disturbed burials were of a similar date.
