Abstract:		 In March and May 2007, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording during the mechanical excavation of a foundation trench adjacent to the northern aisle of St Mary''s Church, Comberton, Cambridgeshire (NGR: TL 3837 5554), and the excavation of a service trench. The work was carried out prior to the construction of a porch/toilet block adjacent to the northern aisle door of the church. The nave, chancel and southern aisle of St Mary''s date to the 13th century, the bell tower was added during the 14th century and the northern aisle was constructed in the 15th century. The excavation of the footing trench exposed the clunch stone foundations of the northern aisle, its associated construction cut, the buried graveyard soil and subsoil, seven east-west burials, a made ground deposit and a Victorian/modern storm drain. Human bone from five of the burials was retained at the church for re-interment at a later date. Four of the individuals were adult, but the fifth was a child. The foundation trench had disturbed the lower legs of the deceased and an un-fused tibia measured 145mm, giving an approximate age of 2 - 3½ years. The remaining two burials were located within the construction cut of the northern aisle suggesting they were intentionally placed under the church foundations.
