Abstract:		 Essex County Council Field Archaeology Unit monitored the excavation of two narrow service trenches across the churchyard of All Saint's Church, Great Chesterford, Essex. Internal groundworks in the floor of the Lady Chapel were also monitored. The church and churchyard are of medieval foundation and are situated within the Second Walled Enclosure of the Roman town. Two wall foundations revealed in the water supply trench to the west and south west of the church, were presumably part of the 13th century tower and the south aisle, which collapsed or were demolished in the 15th century. A north-south aligned undated wall foundation discovered to the south of the Lady Chapel may be a continuation of a Roman wall which was found further south during previous investigation. Two graves, that contained no dating evidence but are thought to be medieval or post medieval, were disturbed by the service trenches at the south west corner of the tower and to the south of the church respectively. Part of the floor was removed and two trenches dug in the Lady Chapel, as part of the works to relocate the screen and bring the water pipe run into the church. Although no in situ medieval deposits were observed, disarticulated human bones, concentrated close to the chapel's south wall, were found. All the artefacts collected from these groundworks were unstratified and comprised fragments of Roman, medieval and later pottery, brick and tile. Items of coffin furniture, consisting of iron nails and two fragments of iron plate, were also retrieved. The majority of the Roman pottery dates to the 3rd and 4th centuries, which is consistent with previous excavations within the churchyard and reflects the main period of Roman town development.
