Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with the construction of three new houses on land at The Tanyard, Woodbury, Devon (NGR SY 0074 8687) was carried out by Exeter Archaeology from October 2007 until January 2008. The historic research has established that a number of buildings existed within the boundaries of the site from at least 1829, with these shown as an indistinct mass of industrial buildings by 1888. Most of these buildings had been removed by the late 20th century. The monitoring of the access road uncovered evidence for part of one of the buildings depicted on 19th-century maps, with identified remains including walls and a cobbled surface. In the area of Units 2 and 3 a dozen wood-lined vats associated with the tannery were found. The monitoring further revealed that across large parts of the site landscaping associated with the construction of the tannery has taken place. This has completely removed any underlying archaeological features or deposits on the higher ground to the south, while along the street frontage lower alluvial deposits survived underneath post-medieval deposits. No archaeological features prior to the early 19th century were found Despite its previous land-use, the watching brief has established that the site contains generally poor survival of post-medieval archaeological features. No finds were recovered pre-dating the post-medieval period. The documentary evidence and the character of the features indicated that they represent evidence for tanning activity dating to the 19th and 20th century.
