This report sets out the results of an Archaeological Watching Brief that was carried out on the 29th March 2012 , the 5th, 10th, & 19th April 2012 and the 3rd May 2012 during the groundworks associated with the insertion of three new drainage gullies and one soakaway pit to improve drainage conditions and divert rainwater away from the external walls at St Laurence's Church, Scalby, Scaborough, North Yorkshire, (TA 00921 90326). The Watching Brief was undertaken as part of an improvement and renovation project at the church. The archaeological work involved monitoring the removal of overburden and topsoil within the trenches and pit where the new drainage gullies and soakaway would be inserted. All drainage services were to be joined to those already existing on site. The excavated trenches for the drainage gullies were hand excavated, under close archaeological supervision. No archaeological features, deposits or finds were encountered during the watching brief.
