Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in April 2013 at St Saviour's Church, Dartmouth, Devon (SX 8776 6513). The site lies immediately outside the westfront of St Saviour's Church. The church is grade I listed and was dedicated in 1372 as a chapel at ease. The construction of the church had started earlier in the 14th century, although the building was substantially enlarged during the late 14th-15th century. The church was heavily refurbished between 1633-37 by the town corporation, with further renovations and additions carried out in the late 19th century. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the construction of a new access ramp leading to the westfront. The work for the new ramp involved the removal of the existing steps and ground reduction extending to a depth of between 0.3-0.5m. The existing stone slabs, consisting of local limestone set in a mixture of fine sandy lime mortar and concrete, were re-used for the construction of the new ramp. The works exposed the remains of a single individual underneath the existing pathway. This pre-dates the insertion of the 19th century gateway into the earlier churchyard walls and the re-ordering of the path leading to the westfront during this period. Work by Cotswold Archaeology in 2013 during gas main renewals in Anzac Street uncovered several graves beyond the current western extent of the graveyard, suggesting that the graveyard may originally have covered a much larger area (Cotswold Archaeology forthcoming).
