Abstract:		 This document reports on a process of archaeological monitoring conducted in July 2019, to mitigate the impact upon any sub-surface features encountered during groundworks associated with new drainage installations at St. Mary's Church, Easington, a Grade I listed building. The archaeological watching brief requested was carried out during all excavation works associated with the drainage works within the churchyard, primarily focussing upon GY01, MH1 (a supposed manhole at the west end), and at GY07 at the south east corner of the nave where there is a tomb chest close-by. Except for the inclusion of pathways in the late 19th century, analysis of historic maps illustrating St. Mary's Church indicate no noteworthy alterations to the churchyard within recorded history. However, the recent discovery of Pre-Conquest sculpture, and the apparent evidence of earlier gable lines in the west side of the church tower, raise the possibility that Pre-Conquest work may survive in and around the present building. The results of archaeological watching brief concluded that no significant archaeological features, other than occasional disarticulated human bones, were disturbed during the current phase of drainage works at St. Mary's Church Easington. The groundworks were essentially able to locate and reuse existing drainage runs without the need for deeper invasive excavations that had the potential of impacting upon in situ archaeological remains.
