Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was conducted by Exeter Archaeology between September and October 2008 and commissioned by South West Water. The associated groundwork comprised the construction of a water main between Newtown Reservoir (SS 5141 2058) and Lock's Beam (SS 4832 2039), in the parish of Great Torrington, Devon. This showed an absence of archaeological features and deposits within the working corridor of the pipeline route pre-dating the post-medieval period. The recovery of flint artefacts along the pipeline route does, however, clearly indicate the presence of prehistoric activity within the area, although since these were all unstratified, little can be said of their wider meaning. The presence of unstratified medieval and post-medieval pottery likewise tell us little other than they were probably deposited through the process of manuring.
