Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology undertook an excavation and watching brief on groundworks associated with the construction of an extension to the south of the existing church room at Holy Saviours Church, Bitterne, Southampton. The excavation comprised 15 trenches targeting agreed pile cap locations for the proposed extension. Topsoil was found to overlie a rubble layer used to build up the ground level to provide access into the existing church room. This rubble layer was laid upon a layer of topsoil which sealed subsoil deposits beneath which the natural silty clay gravel was encountered at a depth of c.0.70m below ground level. Despite the location of the works within the graveyard of the church, the top of grave cuts was only observed in Trenches 4 and 14, which would not be impacted by the positioning of the piles or depth of groundworks. No human remains, either articulated or disarticulated were identified. An undated linear within Trench 2 is believed to be associated with a modern service. The watching brief monitored widening of the pathway to the north of the church and subsequent drainage works to the north, west and south, including the excavation of two soakaways. During the works the top of a grave cut was partially revealed to the west of the existing footpath appearing to correspond with an existing gravestone. Due to the limited impact and depth of the groundworks and positioning of the proposed piles no further investigation of the graves was deemed necessary. No further archaeological features were observed.
