Abstract:		 As part of the consolidation and repair work being undertaken at Kinfauns Old Parish Church a programme of archaeological works comprising the monitoring of ground reduction/levelling works within the interior of the church, the excavation of a series of test pits along the line of a new water drainage system to the south side of the church, the subsequent monitoring of works associated with the installation of this drainage plus monitoring of a trench to the north side of the church for the installation of a monument was undertaken. The levelling works within the interior of the church comprised the removal of mounds of earth and loose stone along with the removal of ivy roots. No features or floor surfaces associated with the church building were exposed during this work. A series of test pits were required along the line of a drainage pipe and associated soakaway. The test pits recorded negative results leading to the excavation of the rest of the pipe trench. A large quantity of charnel was recorded but no inhumations were encountered. The excavation of the soakaway exposed a large stone slab in the east section and partially exposed a burial. Excavation ceased at this level and the inhumation was left in-situ. The monument trench to the north side of the church exposed two differing backfills plus a void in the exposed wall face potentially indicating phasing to the building. No other features or artefacts of archaeological significance were identified.
