Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in June 2018 at the Church of St Petrox, Dartmouth, Devon. The site lies immediately to the northwest of the tower. The church is grade I listed with late 12th century origins, although the current building largely dates to the 17th century when the structure was extensively rebuilt and enlarged. It was therefore considered possible that significant remains or deposits might survive within the footprint of the proposed groundworks. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the construction of new drainage and alterations to the existing path to the northwest of the tower. The work involved the excavation of an area approximately 5m long, 4.5m wide and c. 0.3m deep. Inspection of the work exposed a 0.1m thick concrete path overlying a mid-yellowish-brown silty clay deposit containing frequent shale and fragments of disarticulated human bone. This deposit has been interpreted as a charnel soil and contains a small assemblage of medieval and post-medieval artefacts.
