Abstract:		 HE Projects undertook a programme of archaeological recording on behalf of Sheviock Parochial Church Council at St Mary's Church, Sheviock (NGR SX 3702 5509) during the excavation of new drainage in January 2010. The excavations revealed that the early thirteenth century south transept and the nave were built on a foundation layer of slate rubble that extended from the walls of the church for up to 0.3m. A slate-filled drain running alongside the south side of the nave probably dates to this period too. An earlier stone feature was identified beneath the foundation layer and may represent an earlier building on the site of the church. Evidence from artefacts recovered during the project suggests that the church may have been renovated during the early post-medieval period since a number of ridge tile fragments recovered from the trench may date to this era. A large number of human remains were encountered during the course of the excavation, the vast majority disarticulated and clearly the result of the disturbance of earlier burials by later inhumations. However, one articulated skeleton was located at a shallow depth against the eastern wall of the south transept. In addition, a concentration of long-bones was identified by the south-eastern corner of the transept, perhaps representing a single depositional event. Later alterations to the church were suggested by the construction of a culvert running from the intersection between the transept and the nave.
