Abstract:		 Ecus Ltd were commissioned to carry out archaeological monitoring during the installation of a water pipe within the grounds of St Peter's Church, Rylstone, North Yorkshire. The work comprised machine excavation of a narrow trench to accommodate the new water pipe. It extended from the north-eastern boundary of the churchyard to the north-western corner of the church building. Two pits were hand excavated to locate existing supply pipes. The trench for the new water supply pipe encountered no archaeological remains along its main north-east to south-west alignment, only topsoil, subsoil and natural deposits. No artefacts were recovered to allow dating of the subsoil horizon, but it did not appear to have been utilised for burials, in what was a dense graveyard elsewhere. This may have been due to the shallow depth of the natural bedrock, ranging from between 0.4m and 0.6m below present ground surface. All the archaeological features recorded during the works were concentrated in the segment of the pipe trench within 3.5m of the church building. The re-use of 18th century grave stones around the outside of the church demonstrates that there has been a significant re-organisation of the churchyard, probably, when the building was re-constructed in the 1850s. The two unmarked graves (06, 08) may previously have been marked by one or more of these headstones, or could relate to an earlier period.
