Abstract:		 The ground works consisted of the excavation of a trench 39m in length, 0.3m wide and 0.5m deep. The excavation was undertaken by a mini 360º excavator fitted with a toothless, 0.3m wide, bucket. Almost the entire trench was excavated along the line of a Footpath that led from the gate adjacent to the newly installed gas meter, through the graveyard, and up to the eastern end of the church The nature of the deposits encountered during the archaeological watching brief at All Hallows Church emphasise the antiquity of the site as a focus for funerary activity. The presence of disarticulated human skeletal remains indicates that successive generations have continued to use the graveyard disturbing earlier graves once grave markers and have memory have faded. Although no grave cuts were identified it is almost certain, given the presence of bone and the disturbed nature of Context 3, that in situ burials lay beneath the limit of the service trench excavation.
