Abstract:		 In November 2011 Archaeological Solutions Ltd carried out a programme of archaeological monitoring and excavation at the Church of the Holy Cross, Station Road, Felsted, Essex (NGR TL 6765 2039). The archaeological monitoring was required in association with the removal of all the floors within the church and their replacement with new surfaces incorporating under floor heating. A trial trench evaluation undertaken in October 2010 to the north of the church revealed the base of the 14th century north aisle wall and ten grave cuts dating to the post-medieval or modern period. These deposits were preserved in situ. The monitoring of the church interior encountered seven post-medieval or modern tombs or graves. Four ?medieval pits were recorded and three of them cut a mortar floor layer located at the western end of the nave. Possible early 12th century wall foundations of the original church were also revealed. The majority of the graves were brick- lined and capped with a brick arch. One, F2032, a young infant burial was interred without a coffin and cut the early wall foundations. The pits preserved evidence for intense in situ burning and contained charcoal, lead, nails and metal fragments suggesting that they may have been used for smelting during the construction of the windows possibly during the 14th century. The flint and mortar wall foundations represent the remains of a rectangular structure which followed the outline of the nave and may represent the early 12th century church. The majority of features were preserved in situ.
