Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology between April and June 2018 at the Church of St Mary, Hemyock, Devon. The site lies immediately to the northwest of the tower. The church is a Grade II* listed building. While the tower itself dates to the early Norman period the original church was extensively altered in the 15th century. The medieval building was largely destroyed when the church was rebuilt to designs by Richard Carver of Taunton, and only the tower and part of the ground plan were retained. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the construction of a new toilet block and associated drainage to the north and northeast of the tower. The work involved the excavation for the toilet block of an area approximately 5m long, 4.5m wide and c. 0.5m deep. In addition, a service trench for the foul drain was excavated, extending over a distance of approximately 40m, 0.35m wide and 0.4m deep. Inspection of the works exposed a 0.1m thick dark brown clayey silt topsoil overlying a mid-brown clayey silt deposit. This contained frequent fragments of disarticulated human bone. This deposit has been interpreted as a charnel soil. This contained a single fragment of late medieval floor-tile, a single fragment of 17th-18th century red earthenware ridgetile and a single small fragment of undated coarseware.
