A programme of archaeological observation, investigation and recording was undertaken by Humber Field Archaeology during groundwork associated with the installation of new electricity cable at St Martin's Church, Womersley. Monitoring of the excavations revealed areas of general stratigraphic change along the length of the cable trench route. In areas leading towards the church, there appeared to be two main zones of limestone rubble and occasional ceramic building material present underlying the topsoil. Towards the northern boundary, there was an area of a mortar spread below the topsoil and a harder mortar 'surface' containing large brick fragments almost adjacent to the church wall. No artefacts were identified or retained during this programme of recording and no known, or unknown, inhumations were disturbed during the excavations.
