Abstract:		 Subsidence/foundation movement at St Mary's Church, Pirton resulted in damage to the north side of the chancel. This consisted of substantial cracking in the wall from roof to floor, the window arch, elements of the stone frame of the window, and the floor itself. The Diocesan Archaeological Advisor, stipulated that limited archaeological work should be undertaken in advance of any engineering works to repair the wall or foundations. The aim of the work was to provide sufficient information to allow assessment of the archaeological impact of any engineering works. Albion Archaeology was invited by the project architect, acting on behalf of the Parochial Church Council, to undertake the evaluation. In November / December 2003 one test pit (3.50m E-W, 1.00m N-S, 0.80m deep) was excavated against the north wall of the chancel (at the junction of the chancel and the east wall of the former north transept) directly below the single window in this wall. A second test pit (2.00m N-S, 1.00m E-W, 0.65m deep) was excavated in February 2004 against the east wall of the chancel, again directly below the single window in this wall. Both revealed a late 19th or 20th century brick and concrete foundation around the chancel, evidently a recent attempt to stabilise the structure. No undisturbed deposits or features were seen apart from the apparent foundation of the north transept.
