Abstract:		 Albion Archaeology was commissioned by Barry Wright Partnership to provide a precautionary 'watching brief' attendance during the installation of a length of foul drain and a manhole immediately to the north of No 1 Feoffee Almshouses, Ampthill, within the churchyard of St Andrew's parish church, which dates to the 14th-15th centuries. The Feoffee Almshouses are located in the eastern part of Ampthill off Church Street and Rectory Lane within the medieval settlement envelope and Ampthill Conservation Area. The trench lay on the southern boundary of the churchyard. Archaeological monitoring of the groundworks was undertaken on 8th May 2018. The groundworks were carried out by the building contractor and the trench was hand-dug. The foul-drain trench was c.5m long and was excavated to a maximum depth of 0.55m. Its excavation only disturbed topsoil and previously dug soils around the existing manhole and the foundations of No. 1 Feoffee Almshouses, which was underpinned in 1997. A small number of artefacts were retrieved from the graveyard soil and were reburied at the base of the trench. These comprised a small assemblage of disarticulated animal and human bone fragments as well as post-medieval pottery and clay pipe fragments and a pipe-clay wig curler. Finds were retained by the church In summary, monitoring of the groundworks revealed typical graveyard deposits. No in-situ human burials were encountered and no significant archaeological remains were revealed.
