Abstract:		 The archaeological evaluation of 20 North Street, Ashburton, involved the excavation of two 1m test pits within the footprint of a proposed development in the garden at the rear of the property. Both test pits encountered a similar sequence of deposits. The earliest activity was represented by two postholes and a probable pit cut into the natural substrate. The abundance of slate fragments within the fill of the pit suggests roofing work on the site dating to the 18th century. The next event was the cutting of a terrace into the hill slope to the north-east and a cobbled surface was then laid, probably an interior floor. The pottery suggests a 19th century date and it is likely that the cobbled surface belongs to structures shown on the tithe map. These structures continued in use throughout the 19th century, the cobbling eventually being overlaid with a mortar floor. A layer of rubble overlying the floors containing modern building materials implies that the structures survived and were adapted and repaired well into the 20th century before being demolished and the rubble used to raise the ground level and the area converted to use as a garden.
