Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during the excavation of three engineering trial pits, which were dug alongside the southern and eastern chancel walls of a church in an attempt to ascertain the cause of serious cracking in both walls. Prehistoric remains had been recorded in the surrounding area, and the church itself lay directly over the site of the Rivenhall Roman Villa complex, a SAM. Other remains had been recorded within the area of the churchyard, including a 6th century post-built hall, a middle Saxon mausoleum/chapel, a 10th century timber-built church, several successive priest's houses, a medieval latrine, a ground level Bell cage and a 17th century herring shed. Observation of the trial pits revealed no new archaeological information, but confirmed the accuracy with which records had been made during previous excavation. A structural engineers' survey concluded that the damage to the church was being caused by the contraction of the subsoil around a wall connected to the Roman villa complex. [Au(adp)]
