Abstract:		 During May 2004, work was carried out on behalf of Alwinton and Holystone Parish Council to facilitate the construction of a new footpath from the Vicarage to the entrance of the churchyard of St Michael and All Angels, Alwinton. The route of this footpath follows a track that leads to the church and involved cutting into an embankment between the track and the church garage and hearse house. As a result of the new footpath's close proximity to the church (which is Medieval in origin), members of the Archaeological Practice Limited carried out a watching-brief while excavations (to allow a foundation/footing for the path and the insertion to postholes to hold a hand rail) took place along the length of the route. This report describes deposits and features encountered during works. The observations made while excavations were carried out identified deposits of dark brown loam under a deposit of turf and top-soil. This dark soil continued to the maximum depth excavated (0.50m to allow for a posthole to hold a hand rail), and appeared to have been a deposit caused by soil creep. Finds were limited to small sherds of modern (Victorian) pottery. The nature of remains found upon the site does not support a recommendation for further archaeological evaluation. However, it would be advisable to carry out archaeological watching briefs during any future work in the vicinity due to the areas rich medieval (and earlier) history.
