Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd within the graveyard of the Church of St Peter and St Paul, Swanscombe Street, Swanscombe, Kent between 9th September - 11th November 2008. The archaeological programme consisted of careful excavation of the footprint of proposed soak-aways and drainage channels, locating, cleaning, recording and lifting, with respect and care, any inhumations revealed. After the completion of the soak-aways the burials were re-interred with due ceremony. A total of 50 inhumations were excavated and recorded, with charnel from another 20+ bodies. The majority appeared to date to the late post-medieval period with 3 probable medieval burials. The remains of a possible late-saxon baby were also discovered buried at the base of the tower church tower. Many of the graves encountered were inter-cutting and one contained a 3 deep, stacked burial. No other archaeologically important features were located in the study area. As the excavation was conducted on Church land the bodies were safely stored on site and re-interred as soon as the work was concluded. The assemblage consisted of 5 infants and 45 adults from within the soak-aways and the remains of another infant, located at the base of the northern side of the church tower.
