Title:
Archaeological Watching Brief All Saints Church Pocklington
Description:
In October 2016 York Osteoarchaeology Ltd was commissioned by On-Site Archaeology/PPIY Architects+ Ltd to carry out an archaeological watching brief at All Saint’s Church, Pocklington, East Riding of Yorkshire (SE 8025 4898) during ground works associated with drainage modifications on the north side of the church. As part of a renovation programme at the church it was decided that current drainage system required upgrading, which involved the insertion of two inspection chambers. The scheme of work involved the archaeological monitoring of the excavation of two small trenches, located in the graveyard to the east of the church. Both trenches had been located over existing Victorian drains, which had, for the most part, destroyed any earlier archaeological sequences. Trench 1 did, however, reveal a short sequence of archaeological deposits potentially relating to the churchyard burial soil and the construction of, or repair works to, the chancel. Small quantities of disarticulated human remains were encountered during the excavations, as were fragments of 18th-19th century pottery. The lack of articulated human remains is not surprising considering that the trenches were largely located over existing drainage channels, which would have disturbed any in-situ remains.
