Abstract:		 A programme of salvage archaeological recording was carried out during development groundwork. The work was necessitated by the discovery of human remains by building contractors during excavation of a foundation pile. Archaeological excavation uncovered the disturbed remains of four burials situated inside a machine-brick-lined vault. Further excavation revealed that the vault was probably part of a series or 'terrace' of vaults situated in the north-eastern corner of a 19th century overspill graveyard from St. Peter's Church. The survival of a small number of burial vaults here was probably influenced by the proximity of a wing of the former St. Peter's School which was still standing when the graveyard was reportedly cleared in the early 1970s. Archaeological survival was minimal over the rest of the development area, mainly because construction work for the nearby school and library appeared to have scoured away any archaeological deposits overlying the natural horizon of weathered red sandstone.
