Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation carried out by Archaeology South-East at St Martin's Church, Ryarsh, Kent, ME19 5LB between 26th June - 14th July 2017. The fieldwork was commissioned by Lisa Brooks, of Brooks Building Consultants. Six soakaways and nine trenches of varying lengths were excavated in order to accommodate a new drainage system for the church. The watching brief uncovered fifteen grave cuts. Eight skeletons were excavated, recorded and carefully lifted. The remnants of three decayed coffin bases were also recorded. A brick well was partially exposed within trench 5B, which was part of the existing drainage system. All human remains found on site were retained and stored within the church for reburial at a later date. No other archaeological finds were encountered during the watching brief. All graves encountered were cut through subsoil and sealed by topsoil, with profiles visible in the sections of the soakaways. Where found, skeletons were located at a depth of between 1.20m - 1.30m. Some graves were intercutting, presumably with the intention of trying to fit as many in as possible.
