Abstract:		 An archaeological monitoring exercise (watching brief) was conducted by Network Archaeology during groundworks in the churchyard of St John the Baptist Church, Scampton, Lincolnshire, in August 2022. The work involved monitoring groundworks during the excavation of two service trenches for the installation of a mains water supply and foul water drainage to and from the church building, and the construction of a replacement footpath. The watching brief recorded a total of three articulated skeletons and large quantities of disarticulated human bone. All the human remains were securely and discretely stored in the church at the end of each working day, as agreed with the church incumbent. Following consultations with the church authorities, all the recovered remains were reburied within the churchyard. A possible early graveyard boundary was recorded on the same alignment as the eastern wall of the church, constructed from reused fragmented limestone. Substantial foundations were exposed under the western wall of the church tower. No artefacts were recovered from these foundations, and they are assumed to be contemporary with the construction of the tower.
