Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in July 2020 at the Church of St Petrox, Dartmouth, Devon. A watching brief was maintained during works associated with the removal of the existing concrete floor and the construction of a new breathable floor slab within the tower. The work involved the excavation of an area approximately 4.2m long, 3.8m wide and c.0.3m deep. Although the observations were extremely limited the different alignment of the two walls and the use of Dutch bricks suggest that these may represent the remnants of a vault pre-dating the rebuilding of the church in 1641. If that is the case the earlier chapel was not only on a slightly different alignment, but the current church also represents a complete rebuild incorporating little or no earlier fabric. |
