Abstract:		 Wardell Armstrong Archaeology (WAA) was commissioned by Sunderland City Council to undertake an archaeological watching brief at St. Peter's Church, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear (NGR NZ 40167 57783). This work follows planning application for the landscaping of the area around St. Peter's Church (Planning Ref. 14/01527/LAP). The archaeological watching brief was undertaken over nineteen days, the 5th December 2014 and from the 21st January to 13th February 2015. The watching brief monitored the excavation of the 20 tree pits and one bush pit on the northeast, east and southern sides and the re-grading of ground on the northern side of the church. Eighteen of the tree pits were devoid of any archaeological features and only various ballast and demolition layers were observed in each one. Tree pit 1 and the bush pit both contained, in section, wall remains, probably associated with 19th century buildings that formed the former Hallgarth Square. Importantly, the remains of 12 inhumations, 23 burial pits, 4 spreads and a brick structure associated with the 19th century cemetery were observed under the topsoil to the north of the church. Post-excavation analysis of the human remains revealed a minimum number of 202 individuals, 156 of which were adults and 44 of which were non-adults. Copper staining from shroud pins was a common occurrence in the human bone assemblage. Funerary and domestic artefacts were recovered with the human bone. The human remains are likely of 19th century date.
