Abstract:		 The programme of archaeological fieldwork undertaken at St Andrew's Church, Bridge Sollers by Border Archaeology revealed evidence of a ditch running N-S within the land adjacent to the church ground. Two sherds of Severn Valley Ware pottery from within it date it to the mid 1st to 4th century. A fragment of a Roman ceramic box-flu/ hypercaust tile was also found within the ditch. The tile contained what appears to be a post-firing hole which may indicate its re-use, possibly as ether a roof tile or a loom weight. A natural reddish sandy-clay was observed in this area at 78.92m OD Part of an E-W wall was located to the north of the churches north aisle. The wall was truncated by that of the present north aisle, built in about 1330, suggesting this wall is part of an earlier phase of the church. The original north aisle was built in c. 1180, and it is likely that this foundation is a part of that build. Seven in situ human inhumations were located within the burial ground. All were orientated E-W, with no evidence of coffins, suggesting the possibility that they were buried in ether shrouds or wooden coffins with no metal fittings. Unfortunately, without these fittings or any associated finds it is difficult to offer burial dates more accurate than c. 12th - c. 19th century. A possible grave cut was observed at a depth of 1.10m, this was not investigated, as it fell below the area of investigation. Several sherds of pottery were recovered from the cemetery soil, including a sherd of probable Herefordshire glazed fine micaceous ware (A7b), which dates to the 13th - early 16th century and four sherds of probable Malvernian unglazed ware (B1), used in the late 12th - 15th centuries. Natural was not observed within the church yard excavation.
